Gslisadjuncts FW: Information on Two-year Adjunct appointments
by Kwong-Bor Ng 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

My understanding is, all adjuncts in Queens College have already received an email from Queens College with the application form and explanation about the 2 year contract. Just in case you did not. K.B. -- Kwong-Bor Ng, Ph.D. Acting Chair and Professor Graduate School of Library & Information Studies Queens College, City University of New York From: Glenda G Grace <Glenda.Grace(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:Glenda.Grace@qc.cuny.edu>> Dear Chairs: At the September Personnel and Budget Committee Meeting, you expressed concerns about what needs to be done to comply with the two-year Adjunct appointment provision in the 2010-17 PSC/CUNY Agreement. The process is initiated by the Adjuncts who will fill out the attached form to express interest in a two-year appointment and attest to his/her belief that he/she is eligible for such an appointment. An email (with the form attached) is being sent to all Adjuncts so they are aware of the process. We ask that you also share this form with Adjuncts. We are working to make sure the form is also available in other spaces where Adjuncts may see them including Dean's Office and the form is being uploaded to the HR and Provost Office webpages on the Queen College website. The eligibility for a two-year Adjunct appointment and the procedure are described at the end of this email. Please note the three-year Adjunct appointment in the 2010-17 PSC/CUNY agreement is distinct from the two-year Adjunct appointment. Adjuncts who receive a two-year appointment are to receive a comprehensive review during the two-year period and will be considered for a three-year appointment effective beginning in the 2018-19 academic year, if otherwise eligible. We will share additional guidelines and implementation instructions for the three-year appointment at a later date. While it is not yet clear what a comprehensive review will entail, within the next month, the QC Legal Office will share detailed information about Adjunct teaching and annual evaluations procedures as detailed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Best, Glenda General Counsel and Chief of Staff 717-997-5559 or 718-997-5725 ************************ Eligibility To be eligible for a two-year Adjunct appointment, the following criteria must be met: - The Adjunct must be eligible for a two-semester appointment for the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 semesters by virtue of having taught as an Adjunct in the same department for at least six (6) consecutive semesters (exclusive of summer sessions) preceding the Fall 2016 semester; AND - Of the six (6) semesters preceding Fall 2016, the Adjunct must have taught at least six (6) classroom contact hours in the same department in Fall 2014, Spring 2015, Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 semesters, and one or more courses in Fall 2013 and Spring 2014 semesters; AND - The Adjunct must have taught at least six (6) contact hours in the same department in at least ten (10) out of the fourteen (14) Fall and Spring semesters during the period Fall 2007 through Spring 2014. (Up to four (4) semesters of substitute service in a teaching title within the same department may be counted towards qualifying service). Procedure Adjuncts must submit a Notice of Interest Form to the Queens College Office of Human Resources located in Kiely Hall 163 no later than Monday, October 17, 2016, in order to be considered. While the original form is submitted to the Office of Human Resources, a copy of the form must also be provided to the Department Chairperson. The Provost Office and Human Resources will work closely to verify eligibility based on the above listed criteria and Adjuncts will be notified of his/her eligibility by Wednesday, February 1, 2017. Chairpersons will receive copies of the signed form and a copy will be placed in the Adjunct's personnel file. Please note that this two-year appointment is subject to sufficiency of registration and changes in curriculum but without the requirement of a comprehensive review. If you were to lose your course assignments in any given semester, you will still remain eligible for the remaining semesters of the two-year appointment.

In the past we’ve highlighted faculty who have received funding for research, new programs, students representing their school at a conference, and even a breakthrough in a faculty member’s research. The content will be featured on the new Research homepage<http://www2.cuny.edu/research/> and shared on the Research Twitter account<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__twitter.com_CUNYResear…>.

(an online global news distribution service operated by AAAS: the American Association for the Advancement of Science) * Membership in the Black Rock Forest Consortium (a 3,870-acre forest and a scientific field station in the Hudson Highlands, NY, 60 miles north of New York City) More about EurekAlert! The CUNY Office of Research strives to highlight the innovative work being generated at CUNY via our homepage/news section (http://www.cuny.edu/research ) and our Twitter account (@CUNYResearch). The new EurekAlert! subscription now allows CUNY research to reach more than 8,000 journalists from 75 countries. Please email your complete press releases (with embargo dates), prior to the publication date and/or relevant inquiries (if you don’t have a press release but would like us to work with you to prepare a press release) to Shanté Booker at Shante.Booker(a)cuny.edu<mailto:Shante.Booker@cuny.edu> EurekAlert! provides a central location for universities and other institutions engaged in research to share their news with journalists and the general public. Focused on all areas of science, medicine, and technology, EurekAlert! enables organizations to post press releases, images, audio, video and notice of upcoming events: http://www.eurekalert.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.eurekalert.org_&d=C…> With our subscription, CUNY joins more than 1,000 universities, medical centers, journals, government agencies, and corporations using this service.

More about the Black Rock Forest Consortium Our University-wide all-campus membership in the Black Rock Forest Consortium ( http://www.blackrockforest.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.blackrockforest.org…> ) will enable CUNY scientists and instructors to propose and conduct research and field laboratory projects at Black Rock, including overnight trips (at reduced per capita rates) to advance scientific understanding of the natural world through research, education, and conservation programs. Founded in 1989, the Consortium collaborates with its members—universities, schools, and scientific and cultural institutions – to engage in scientific inquiry and to create educational programs for K-16 students, teachers, and the general public. The Consortium has helped to preserve the Hudson Highlands as a refuge for wildlife and to secure a wildlife corridor between Black Rock Forest and Schunnemunk Mountain State Park, NY, keeping open migration pathways between more than 117,000 acres of protected land. Consortium researchers have produced more than 500 scientific papers, including 35 masters and Ph.D. dissertations. The Consortium aims to understand the future of eastern deciduous forests in relation to the effects of urbanization on climate, biodiversity, chemical cycles and the spread of invasive species. CUNY investigators could access a wide variety of pristine terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems that have outstanding natural resources and/or sensitive plant and animal populations. Other benefits include data sharing and access to long-term records; use of laboratory facilities and scientific equipment; a range of on-site lodging options; and participation research symposia that highlight the scientific investigations taking place in the Forest.

Dear colleagues, friends and students, Dr Stanley Lewis was a professor in the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies at Queens College from 1967 to 1987. He passed away on July 18, less than a month short of his 90th birthday. You can view obituaries for him here: The New York Times (published 27 July): http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?n=STANLEY-LEWIS&pid= 180794898 The Oregonian (published 26 and 27 July): http://obits.oregonlive.com/obituaries/oregon/obituary. aspx?n=stanley-t-lewis&pid=180794053&fhid=11493 Below is a scan of the Times obituary. Dr Lewis loved his work at Queens College very much. In the years since then, he was very involved in civic activities in Portland, Oregon, the city to which he retired in 1991. We will miss him!

Gslisadjuncts Reminder: APA Curriculum Space TODAY, Sept 1, Thursday from 5:45 pm to 7:15 pm
by Ping Li 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Dear Colleagues and Students, Curriculum Space is a time slot set aside for activities for our students designated by the GSLIS faculty. On that day, early classes will end at 5:45pm (instead of 6:30pm) and late classes will begin at 7:15pm (instead of 6:40pm). We will have the first curriculum space about APA TODAY (September 1, Thursday) from 5:45 pm to 7:15 pm, in President's Conference Room #2 on the 5th Floor in the Rosenthal Library. APA is a common formatting style for essays and papers in the social sciences. In GSLIS, paper assignments in all courses should follow the APA format. You should attend if you are a new student, if you have paper assignments for the courses you are taking, or if you simply want to refresh your memory on APA. Please don't hesitate to direct any questions to me about this workshop. Thank you! Sincerely, Dr. Ping Li ---------------------- Ping Li, MLIS, Ph.D. Associate Professor Graduate Advisor for Continuing Students Graduate School of Library and Information Studies Queens College City University of New York Ping.Li(a)qc.cuny.edu 718-997-3628
