Nursing - Discipline Input Group Meetings
Sponsored by C-ID, ASCCC and HWI
South Region: Friday May 4, 2012
Doubletree Hotel Orange/Anaheim
North Region: Friday May 11, 2012 Westin Hotel SFO Airport
Dear Nursing Faculty,
On behalf of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges and the Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID), which is administered by the Academic Senate, we invite you to attend the Discipline Input Group (“DIG”) meeting in your region to provide input regarding a possible statewide model curriculum for Nursing and C-ID course descriptors for the ADN programs.
As you know, with the passage of SB 1440, our colleges have begun to develop new associate degrees for transfer and to date 18 disciplines have developed a Transfer Model Curriculum (TMC). However, legislative mandates together with unit and course requirements place the Registered Nursing major in a unique position. As a result, the State Academic Senate and the C-ID System along with the Health Workforce Initiative are hosting these meetings to support, and assist in coordinating the work of nursing faculty in developing their own version of a statewide model curriculum that might stand alone or could potentially be a part of the SB 1440 implementation.
At the core of any statewide effort to coordinate curriculum pathways is the convening of intersegmental discipline faculty, and this is the heart of the C-ID system. Initial meetings to address the ADN transfer curriculum were held this past October, and upcoming May meetings are expected to move us forward as we build and improve upon progress we have already made. Besides SB 1440, the nursing discipline has had to develop a response to AB 1295, and a great deal of work has been done toward achieving that goal. These May meetings will include a summary of the previous work done by nursing faculty regarding AB 1295, C-ID and SB 1440.
While these May meetings are for discipline faculty, the C-ID representatives are working with the Health Workforce Initiative director and we will attend the ADN Directors meetings in the fall to get further input.
Background about SB 1440 Implementation: The statewide strategy for the TMC is facilitated though the C-ID System. C-ID is a faculty-driven system for colleges and universities to facilitate the identification of comparable courses and increase articulation across all segments of higher education in the state. C-ID addresses the need for a “common course numbering system” to simplify student movement both within the California community colleges and intersegmentally. The basis of C-ID is a set of detailed course “descriptors” for courses that commonly transfer from a California community college to baccalaureate-granting institutions, which are developed by a team of intersegmental faculty. For additional background information on C-ID, please visit http://www.c-id.net/.
Sincerely,
Jane Patton, Ed.D, C-ID Coordinator
DIG Meeting Goals:
1. Review previous progress made by Nursing discipline; coordinate with other efforts underway.
2. Discuss a model curriculum for the discipline, identifying the list of courses to be vetted statewide.
3. Review C-ID course descriptors & discuss next steps.

Call for papers - FOOD STUDIES: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, IL, USA on 4-5 October 2012 (http://Food-Studies.com/conference)
This conference will address contemporary food challenges from interdisciplinary perspectives by exploring new possibilities for sustainable food production and human nutrition.

Members of this knowledge community include academics, teachers, administrators, policy makers and practitioners in food communities. Contributions range from broad theoretical and global policy explorations, to detailed studies of specific human-physiological, nutritional and social dynamics of food. Other topics are welcome, and should focus on the food sciences in the areas such as, but not limited to agricultural and environmental food sciences, food industries and markets, and local and global food sociologies.
Location: In 2012, The Food Studies Conference is strategically held in Urbana-Champaign, Illinois during the Midwestern harvest season. This is the home of the land-grant University of Illinois, located in the United States'' agricultural heartland. With cutting-edge research at the University, and a full range of agricultural endeavors in the community, ranging from large agribusiness to urban farmers'' markets, Urbana-Champaign represents an ideal location for the Food Studies community to gather.
This year''s conference will feature a special panel discussion highlighting Urban Food Hubs and their evolving role in the local agribusiness and food industry arena. Conference tour activities will feature an exclusive farm-to-table dinner at Prairie Fruits Farm where participants will experience the slow foods movement first-hand in a unique outdoor, field-side setting. Urbana Champaign can easily be reached by commuter plane, train and road from Chicago and Bloomington, Illinois.
Proposals: We welcome presentation proposals which range from broad explorations of theoretical, methodological and policy questions, to proposals which present finely grained evidence of the connections of economics, public health, government and community practices, sociological, medical and educational perspectives of food in our societies.
