As Doug mentioned in his last email to this group, there have been conversations with the SIGCSE Board about how to move forward with transitioning this group into a permanent organization. Short term, their recommendation is that we continue to exist as a committee while we work through that process. At the same time, as a committee we could continue to sponsor events at the technical symposium and work on other activities that our recently published report indicates the community would like to see.

Thanks for the additional input Angela, Megan, and Madeline - a few replies to all three messages here.<br><br>Regarding Megan's question here about intent, the high-level goal is to get information about what people mean when they say they think it would be helpful for a permanent group to be a voice for liberal arts computing. We have a general sense from discussion on this list and the sessions held at SIGCSE last year that there is a desire for this to be part of a permanent group's charge, but while we have some good detailed information about the types [...]

Hi Amanda,<br><br>Do we know exactly what we hope to learn from each aspect of the survey, to<br>help guide us in how the survey is formed?

Hello, everyone,<br><br>My two cents...<br><br>To address Madeline's concern, perhaps we can include the definition of<br>"liberal arts computing" that the committee came up with at the top of the<br>survey to help respondents understand what we mean? Or at least include it<br>in the email when we send out the link?<br><br>I think the last two questions should be moved to the beginning as the<br>first two questions, to help the survey respondent put the rest of the<br>questions into context. It would also let them know that answering "None"<br>to their involvement in liberal arts computing is okay, [...]

Thanks for the feedback Madeline!<br><br>Regarding the phrasing, of "liberal arts computing educator/education" I've borrowed this language from the draft committee report for our special session. I believe we have been using this language to be inclusive not just of those at traditional liberal arts institutions but also those who may be doing liberal arts education within a college or sub-unit of a larger non-liberal arts institution. So, we're trying as a committee to focus more on a philosophy of education than the particular label an institution might have. [...]

Hi Amanda (& everyone else),<br><br>The phrasing of "liberal arts computing educator/education" seems<br>potentially confusing. Are we interested in educators/education at liberal<br>arts institutions?<br><br>I suggest separating the last two questions. People may not consider<br>themselves to be involved but fit into one of those categories, and that<br>could be useful to know.<br><br>We might also add the option to enter the name(s) of institutions when<br>someone checks off a relationship type.

In my opinion, this organization<br>would ideally serve two purposes: networking within the liberal arts<br>computing community, and providing leadership that could be our "voice" to<br>others (others = non-liberal-arts computing + non-computing liberal arts +<br>other others). Perhaps thinking about our intended audience will help us<br>clarify our "voice." I think it's natural that it [...]

Based on feedback I've gotten since circulating notes on the liberal arts<br>committee's SIGCSE 2017 activities, the sense seems to be that we should<br>work towards a report focused on the core questions from our charge (is<br>there a need for a voice for liberal arts computing programs, and is there<br>a need for an ongoing group of liberal arts computing educators). We have<br>quite a bit of evidence for a "yes" answer to the second of these just from<br>our discussions so far. We might also want to do a "characteristics of<br>liberal arts CS programs" survey, similar to [...]

The focused approach makes sense to me as well and I agree that the work we've done makes the case that there is a role for a permanent group. I actually think that the amount of interest we heard in getting more samples of how different liberal arts CS programs have adapted CS2013 makes a pretty good case for Doug's item (1) below that there's a desire to have an ongoing liberal arts voice in curricular conversations, as well as all of the good evidence we have for item (2) that people really want a way to communicate with each [...]

Hi, all,<br><br>FWIW, I’d just like to second Doug’s sentiment below, to focus largely on the two apparent needs identified in the SIGCSE charge with likely resolutions to those items being to form a permanent group. I totally agree that taking more of a broad, open-ended approach is not likely to lead to much (and I, for one, think that the two identified needs are “real”, as I think many or all of you do). Some kind of middle road might work, but I personally feel like a more concrete focus is a better approach. [...]

The SIGCSE program committee sent out a reminder about BoFs, posters, etc.<br>a few days ago, which reminded me that the liberal arts committee was<br>talking about 2 or 3 possibilities back at the end of August. As I recall,<br>people were thinking about BoFs on...<br><br>- Soft skills and interdisciplinary connections<br>- Communicating about CS to liberal arts colleagues<br>- Curricular structures for CS in liberal arts settings [...]

The liberal arts committee special session proposal has been submitted.<br>I've attached the final version, which has a few small but helpful (thank<br>you, commenters) changes from yesterday's draft. Thank you to everyone who<br>helped with this, and with the committee's work in general.

Nicely done!<br><br>Two suggestions:<br><br>1. Title: Add "Status" to yield "Status Report of the SIGCSE<br>Committee". The text indicate this is a work in progress, but readers<br>scanning the program might think this is a final product.<br><br>2. In the time allocation, add "session participants" to the Small-group<br>segment to yield "Small-Group Discussion (45 minutes, Session attendees<br>& Committee leaders)" [...]

https://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.CGI?A2=SIGCSE-LIBARTS-COMM;746d74f1.1608
Here is one more look at the liberal arts committee special session<br>proposal for anyone who wants it. Many of you made suggestions, and I've<br>incorporated most of them as small changes here and there in the text. (The<br>one suggestion least incorporated was the very good observation that<br>"Report of...." is not the most exciting way to start a title, yet I think<br>SIGCSE program committees generally try hard to give special sessions to<br>committees wanting to report, so I wanted it to be abundantly clear that<br>this is such a report -- I changed the title to put [...]

My first thought is to change the title. Report of... is not a strong<br>draw, I would think. Perhaps just call it something like "Computer Science<br>in Liberal Arts Colleges." Then the description can say that it is a<br>report of status from a committee.<br><br>Boots<br><br>L N Cassel, Ph.D.<br>Professor and Chair<br>Department of Computing Sciences<br>Villanova University<br>800 Lancaster Avenue<br>Villanova PA 19085-1699<br>http://csc.villanova.edu/~cassel [...]

https://listserv.acm.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ACMLPX.CGI?A2=SIGCSE-LIBARTS-COMM;df9456ca.1608
Following discussions over the past few weeks, here is a draft proposal for<br>a SIGCSE liberal arts committee special session at SIGCSE 2017. I certainly<br>welcome suggestions on it from anyone, but most of you can be as much or as<br>little involved in making such suggestions as you want. A few of you though<br>(specifically, Grant, Henry, Alyce, Andrea, and Amanda) have talked with me<br>in more detail about parts of it or otherwise got named as participants, so<br>you might want to look at it more carefully.

Sounds like there's a lot of interest in communicating about CS to liberal<br>arts colleagues. Would someone like to volunteer to be a lead organizer for<br>a BoF? Whoever does that would probably have a lot of helpers....

Hi Doug and all,<br><br>Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to attend SIGCSE this year,<br>which I am very disappointed about. I am teaching in China in the spring,<br>and don't think I'll be able to get away.<br><br>Therefore I am afraid I will be of little use, but not out of lack of<br>desire! If there is anything that I can do remotely I am absolutely<br>willing. I did my undergraduate degree in a small liberal arts university<br>(Drew) and I am very interested in where CS education in a liberal arts<br>setting is going. [...]
