Nominations sought for Faculty Senate vice chair
Nominations for vice chair of the Faculty Senate are being sought. The successful candidate will serve as vice chair during the 2007-2008 academic year, as chair of the Faculty Senate during the 2008-2009 academic year, and as chair of the Senate Committee on Planning and Budgeting during the 2009-2010 academic year. This position requires a two-year, half-time commitment and a one-year committee chair commitment.
