Please Participate!
Survey for Strategic Planning Initiative. A student survey will launch this week, and the faculty/staff survey in early May. Encourage your students to participate in this important opportunity to help set and prioritize goals! And please take time to thoughtfully fill out the faculty/staff survey when the time comes. We appreciate everyone’s feedback immensely!
Faculty Voting. We need all faculty (regular and NTT) to vote when the faculty ballot for CAFNR elections and changes to the bylaws is sent this week! This vote is very important since it will increase effectiveness of shared governance by making bylaws changes less cumbersome in the future.
