Everyone is invited to join us in honoring Carol and celebrating her life. Please share with the faculty and staff members in your departments. Carol Douglas worked in the School of Social Sciences for over ten years, first in the Sociology Department and later in the dean's office as the Administrative Executive Assistant. She was also a founding member and leader of the Black and Latinx Faculty and Staff Association (BLFSA). Universally loved by faculty and staff members as well as students, Ms. Douglas served as an inspiring mentor for her junior colleagues and was admired as an outspoken leader and an avid advocate for campus diversity and inclusion. As she constantly brought people together for events and celebrations and devoted herself to her job, she made a point to connect with many on a personal level and genuinely cared about the well-being of all. Members of the School of Social Sciences were deeply saddened by her sudden death on September 7, 2021. To honor her memory, faculty and staff members have raised more than $25,000 to commemorate her legacy by setting up the Carol Douglas Memorial Endowment Fund under the auspices of the School of Social Sciences. Funds from the account will be used to support a student award for promoting equity and inclusion on the Queens College campus, and an annual event honoring Ms. Douglas’ memory.

From: Dean Savage <Dean.Savage(a)qc.cuny.edu> Date: Wednesday, November 9, 2022 at 8:25 PM To: James Lowry <James.Lowry(a)qc.cuny.edu> Subject: survey on what faculty need to help improve student career outcomes Hi James, Could you please consider passing this message on to your full-time faculty? Thanks, Dean Hi to everyone, As many of you know, I've been working with a group of CUNY faculty to explore what we might do to improve student career outcomes. The survey invitation you received this morning (a reminder, the first invitation arrived last Monday) is intended to gather information on what faculty need to help student outcomes. CUNY has now embraced its role as a major engine of social mobility, and this survey is part of that effort. Please take a few moments to complete the survey, if you haven't already done so. Thank you, Dean Savage Professor Emeritus of Sociology
