\nProgress: The project is undergoing final faculty approval. Notes will continue to be collected for BC1, BC2, and Advanced Chemistry.
\nFuture Plans: A trial run will be conducted after the project has received faculty approval. Once the trial run is completed, the team will consider the success of the project; possible revisions that may need to be made before the project is completed.<\/p>\n

Project Name: Sophomore Navigation Module Revision<\/strong>
\nProject Leader & Members: Gloria Huang
\nPurpose: To analyze Sophomore Navigation modules, and possibly revise modules to focus on academic support and resources on campus.
\nProgress: The Academic Support module was revised from being a tour showing IMSA resources (writing center, ITMC, etc.) to being a simulation where sophomores would go through the process of asking for help from the resources at IMSA. The module was completed, and is now undergoing revisions for next year. The project leader has already met with the counselors and is now looking at the Navigation curriculum in its entirety.
\nFuture Plans: The project leader will meet with the counselors again to implement formal navigation changes.<\/p>\n

Project Name: RC 1 on 1 Reform<\/strong>
\nProject Leader & Members: Vinay Tummarakota

\nProgress: The project team presented their finished project proposal to the RCs at the RC meeting on May 1st.
\nFuture Plans: The team will use the collected feedback to make revisions to the project proposal and\/or start the official implementation of this program next year.<\/p>\n

Project Name: IMSA Bike Project<\/strong>
\nProject Leader & Members: Kaushal Gumpula and Ray Shang
\nPurpose: To get free bikes that students can use on the IMSA campus.
\nProgress: The bikes have been repaired, and the team is waiting for administrative and RC approval for both the permission form and the procedure to sign out the bikes. Students must wear helmets to ride these bikes.
\nFuture Plans: The team first needs to purchase bike locks and will consider how to modify the program after feedback presented at the RC Meeting.<\/p>\n

\nFuture Plans: The team will meet to review the feedback they have received and make appropriate revisions to their proposal.<\/p>\n
