Schedule meetings as early as possible |
PODs members can plan to attend the meetings and this will reduce schedule conflicts with other program activities. |
Dedicate a specific day for PODs |
A dedicated day (e.g., Third Wednesday of each month) will address scheduling challenges and may increase attendance. |
Consider providing refreshments and/or snacks |
This accommodation may promote a more casual environment and increase member enjoyment. |
Encourage students to nominate PODs faculty |
May help to promote engagement and participation in the program by students and faculty. |
Protect PODs meetings as ‘student-mentoring’ time
|
Meetings should be student-driven and determined by members’ current concerns, questions, and experiences. |
