There are three ways that projects, initiatives and priorities are handed over to our new SP2 Teams for review.  They are:

1. 1. Via strategic projects
      The SP2 Teams will be involved in projects and charges arising directly from Delta’s Strategic Plan work.
   2. By filling out the SP2 Technology Project Request Form
      To formally submit your technology-related project or initiative, please send it via the SP2 Technology Project Request Etrieve form. Once submitted it will be routed directly to the SP2 Teams.
   3. By requesting a conversation about potential projects
      All Delta staff and faculty have the option to be included on the monthly team meeting agenda to have a conversation about potential projects. If you want to discuss a technology project or initiative that is not ready for formal submission via the SP2 Technology Request Form, please reach out to the appropriate SP2 Team chair(s) and request to be placed on the next monthly meeting agenda. All team chairs are listed on this page.

The current membership of the SP2 Teams was organized through a collaborative review process and in consultation with the Delta College Faculty Association (DCFA). Team descriptions and membership will be reviewed and updated annually. If you are interested in joining one of these teams, please email Jon Foco or Josh Berry to let them know.

SP2 is not a CIBE subcommittee, but will work in partnership with CIBE to share information whenever it is requested, needed, recommended or beneficial.
