Dear Dr. Gates:
A brief note of thanks for your extraordinarily generous and
thoughtful participation at the recent YPO Kauai University.
I'm taking the liberty of enclosing some observations made at
Friday's faculty debriefing. If you'd like to add your comments
-- Strengths? Shortcomings? Suggestions? -- please send them to
me at the above address.
Again, many thanks. It was a privilege to serve as YPO Dean with
such a distinguished group of colleagues.
With all best wishes,
Cordial
Pierre Mornell, M. D.

FACULTY DEBRIEFING
FEBRUARY 5, 1988
KAUAI UNIVERSITY
Suggestions
- a group of faculty and members meet in the near future to
continue this debriefing
- "old time" faculty serve as hosts to new faculty members,
especially useful pre-university
- faculty to faculty lunches - allowing faculty to meet with each
other during the week to discuss and evaluate the university
- allow 2 afternoons during the week for "workshops" to take
place - it was suggested that these be approximately 2 hours long
and perhaps have limited enrollment, allowing for more intimate
discussions
- class periods should be 90 minutes instead of 1 hour and 15
minutes
- indicate on the daily schedule specific classes that would be
advantageous for 1st time university registrants to attend -
these would consist of basic classes
- more "fireside chats"
- faculty/registrant lunches - providing a time for the
registrants to chat with the faculty on an informal basis
Comments
- more YPO background information is needed for new faculty
- faculty felt they were "on call" too much outside of their
lectures. Personal Development speakers commented on this
especially. This was extremely draining for the faculty. More
fireside chats and workshops may help to alleviate this problem.
- too much time is scheduled. Suggest only 1 class period after
lunch. Also, this would allow faculty more time to spend with
registrants on an individual basis
- some faculty felt they are performing for evaluation numbers
- some faculty felt the evaluations are superficial
- The debriefing was an excellent opportunity for faculty to
discuss and evaluate the university and should be continued

Dear Mr. Gates:
Although it will be some weeks before the final results are
available, early indications are that Kauai was one of the
highest rated universities in YPO history. Because it was a
North American university where education is always the most
important aspect, it is clear that the education program was
the primary determinant of the overall university's success.
Of course, it didn't hurt that the social, hospitality, and
other aspects were very well done.
I just want to thank you once again for your part in this
successful undertaking. I don't know if you will be involved
in future YPO educational events, but this one was very
special for Sally and me because it was our only one, and we
really appreciate your help. Your sessions were very well
received and I hope you will be able to speak again to future
YPO audiences.
Again, I thank you, and look forward to seeing you at future
YPO educational events.
Best regards,
Noel J. Fenton
