by Simone Yearwood 24 Sep '20

24 Sep '20

Dear Faculty Senators, The College is starting strategic planning and is seeking recommendations of diverse faculty members to serve on working groups. Diversity is not only identity, but also discipline and seniority; the group should include both full-time and part-time faculty. The five working groups are, alphabetically: * Curriculum * Diversity * Faculty Scholarship and Creativity * Fiscal Sustainability * Student Success and Student Life If you are interested or would like to recommend a colleague, please email Brenda.Salas(a)qc.cuny.edu no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday September 29, 2020. If you wish, you may indicate faculty preferences for a particular working group or groups, on the understanding the distribution of members ultimately may differ. When making the recommendation or self-nomination, please note your department and status (i.e. full-time/part-time). Best regards, Simone L. Yearwood - Chair Prof. Simone L. Yearwood, Associate Professor Deputy Chief Librarian Queens College Rosenthal Library Chair - Academic Senate 65-30 Kissena Blvd. Flushing, NY 11367 Phone: (718)997-3685 Fax: (718)997-3753 Simone.Yearwood(a)qc.cuny.edu
