Dear A&S Faculty and Staff Community,
Welcome to the start of the Fall Quarter and the 2020-21 Academic Year. We face many challenges in living out our academic mission and supporting our students and each other. We can succeed through everything because of who we are individually and who we are when we come together. Along with facing the immediate challenges around us, we continue to move forward with our Strategic Plan and support for our endeavors.
In this memo you will see we have developed a new section about research funding on our “Faculty and Staff Resources” web page; you’ll read about recruitment and retention efforts that are already planned for the coming year (let Karen Bystrom know as others come together); and of course, you’ll read about the great ongoing scholarly and creative accomplishments of our faculty as, in partnership with our great staff, they continue forward in the face of all the challenges of 2020.
I can imagine no other group I would rather be part of as we face the challenges of these times together.
Shared Governance
