Meetings are and should be a vital part to any Institution. In my personal experience I have learned that through my Student Services weekly meetings that it is a time for all of us to share what our weekly agendas and for the rest of the staff to share as well. This is also a time for us to have an open floor for any new information someone may have that the rest of the staff may not know about just yet. Meetings should be a time for everyone in your department to share new information and findings they may have discovered over the last week so we can all remain on the same page. Communication is key!
