Design Teams

 

In order for an institution to fully explore the implications of launching a new CTB model college, a number of different internal perspectives need to be considered. These perspectives include stakeholders representing various departments including enrollment, advancement, academics, and student life. Therefore, the CTB Design Grant process is carefully designed to elevate and engage with a number of voices on each campus.

As part of the application process, each participating institution will identify and bring together a design team, led by a designated project manager.

  • A project manager, key administrators from relevant departments (enrollment, advancement, academics, career services, and student life).

The design team will take on the bulk of the exploration and planning work, engaging with the President of the institution periodically to ensure alignment. The financial contribution included in the grant allows for the project manager and the rest of the design team to be compensated for their time spent on the project.

The commitment required from the President of the institution is much smaller (only three meetings over the entire nine month process). However, the president must approve the application and agree to attend these meetings. Without the president's approval, an application is considered incomplete.

  • Anticipated Time Commitments:

    • Project Manager: 3 hours per week (August - May)

    • Design Team: 3 hours per month (August - May)

    • Executive Team: 3 Meetings per year (Spring, Fall, Winter)
