It is up to each CLIP to schedule its own meetings. These meetings typically are very participatory, giving all the members a chance to interact and engage in a dialogue about the issues related to the inquiry. These meetings help to build a sense of community because they occur frequently and are characterized by open, respectful conversations among members.

You also can plan some meetings to be primarily informational (e.g., bringing in an expert in conducting group interviews or analyzing data from interviews.)

Three times during the year your CLIP will join other CLIPs at your college for multi-CLIP meetings – Fall Orientation meeting, Mid-Year Adjustment meeting, and Spring Presenttion and Feedback meeting . The CLIP Guide for the college organizes the multi-CLIP meetings. As a CLIP Facilitator, you will take an active part in these meetings.
