The Archiving Student Activism Toolkit Committee (ASATC) must be attuned to the shifting needs of student organizers and archivists/memory workers and try to stay on top of trends and social movements taking place in vulnerable and marginalized student populations. (ASATC) will assist in building out modules for the toolkit that may intersect with the needs of the Educator’s Toolkit. Committee members will make recommendations for updates to the toolkit and will generate annual forms and interviews as tools to gather data on the strengths and weaknesses of the toolkit.

The Collections Assessment Committee (CAC) will play a critical role in reviewing the data from the collection assessments. The CAC will make recommendations for new areas of data collection for the assessment form. But CAC must also review data to unpack what is revealed by the assessments—what areas potentially are the weakest areas of collection within the consortium, what are the strongest areas of collection development? The group will work with the WDI team on recommendations for data visualization. The group must also keep up with what new/old members have not submitted an assessment form. They will also need to work in collaboration with the Collection Features Committee and make recommendations on what collections should be highlighted.
