Faculty Council Corner

Faculty Council Corner is a regular Thursday morning feature, presenting an open thread for you to bother your HWFC members with pressing questions (or for us to post the pressing questions that you have). Also, you can expect this to be the forum where we post regular updates about what is happening with Faculty Council and when.

Well, it happened again–the late week delay, only this time it started on Tuesday morning…so sorry about the delay. I trust that y’all managed to fill your day without me.

Last Week’s Pressing Questions:

This one from the Realist regarding the HWFC meeting with the Provost:

~Were you given a new date? Yes. Rosie rescheduled us for November 15th. I’ll have an update after the meeting.

This Week’s Updates:

~This Tuesday is our November Faculty Council Meeting (3:30pm in room 1046). All are welcome and invited. It will feature formal (and informal) expressions of gratitude for the service over the past few years of Kamilah Sanders and Chris Sabino, the seating of our two new Council members (Jen Armendarez and Chao Lu), officer elections, free popsicles, and the wit and wisdom of Domenico Ferri. Should be an exciting meeting. Watch your email for the agenda.

~Rosie, with absolutely no help from the rest of us, has arranged for an update from the HW members of Reinvention. They’ll be visiting us on Tuesday, November 22nd (3:30, room 1046) to talk about their work, their plans, and Spring Reinvention. My understanding is that Anthony will be roasting a turkey for the occasion (and hopefully it will have Oyster! If not, I won’t complain, but I will be a little disappointed). So come and have an early Thanksgiving with your Faculty Council and Reinvention team!
