In early 2021, the Council on Faculty Issues (CFI) discussed the need for new ways to communicate Faculty Senate news to the general faculty. We created a proposal for a news blog with an accompanying newsletter and then presented the proposal to the Faculty Senate Executive Council (FSEC) and the Faculty Senate (FS). It was met with resounding approval!
Working with Faculty Affairs Communications Manager Tara Centeno, University Communications & Marketing, and IT, we developed an implementation plan with a go-live date of September 21. Welcome to the result of our efforts!
The blog will be managed by a CFI team and Ms. Centeno. Our first “issue” includes introductory posts about the FS and FSEC.
- Introduction to website
- Introduction to the Faculty Senate
- Who’s your senator & getting involved
- AY 2021/22 meeting schedule
Each month, we’ll post news about:
- FS and FSEC meeting highlights
- Posts from Councils about activities, issues, etc.
- President/Provost news about legislative issues, task force activities, budget, etc.
- Presentations to FS
You’ll also receive a monthly pdf newsletter based on posts. This is your news blog,
so if you have any feedback or ideas you would like us to cover/include, please feel
free to contact CFI co-chairs Barbara Lewis and/or Jenna Luque.
