 * ** Develop a template that can be used for each program of study exploration sheet. **

 * ** Decide who will be responsible for making the initial exploration information sheet. **
 * ** Figure out who will be responsible for the upkeep of these sheets. **

 * figure out what NOVA has already
 * develop timeline to complete brochures
 * get input, etc. from stakeholders
 * reality check: is this something that the QEP Development Committee can accomplish?
 * budget
