Invitation to Join the Faculty Caucus

Calling all full-time faculty!  As full-time faculty, we often have concerns unique to teaching and questions about our roles as faculty. But who should you talk to?  The College Senate has commissioned a new group, the Faculty Caucus, to look after the concerns of the full-time faculty, to bring new concerns to the Senate, to help the faculty remain informed about news from the College Senate, and to provide a forum for faculty concerns to the College Senate. 

In December 2021, you, as faculty, voted for nominated members of this committee. The roles and email for each member are listed below 

Chair: Gillian Backus, Loudoun Campus (gbackus@nvcc.edu) 
Vice Chair: Bryan Brown, Woodbridge Campus (babrown@nvcc.edu) 
Secretary: Julie Quinn, Woodbridge (Jquinn@nvcc.edu) 
Parliamentarian: Maureen Santelli (msantelli@nvcc.edu)  

We seek to convene a Steering Committee of committed and enthusiastic FT faculty with representatives from each campus to help us advocate for all FT faculty. The Steering Committee would work with the Executive Committee to address the FT faculty concerns and present them to the College Senate and to the Administration. 

We will meet the first Friday of each month over ZOOM, with our first meeting being February 4, 2022 at 11am. All are welcome. Please follow the ZOOM link provided below.

As a Faculty Caucus, it is our responsibility to think specifically about the concerns of the FT faculty and to bring those concerns forward.  Full-time faculty with a passion for advocacy, please join us!
