College Staff Forum Council, Today at 1; Faculty, College Staff Caucus Meetings, Feb. 24

February 23, 2023 / Faculty/Staff Highlights

Please take note of upcoming faculty and staff caucuses. These meetings provide an opportunity for the various stakeholders to learn about on-going initiatives affecting them and the College and to provide input and assistance in carrying these initiatives forward.

Today, 1 p.m.:  College Staff Forum Council Monthly Meeting

The purpose of the College Staff Forum Council (CSFC) is to serve as an instrument for the formulation and expression of faculty, student, and staff points of view as represented by staff who report up through Vice Presidents rather than belonging to a specific campus. The council typically considers questions relevant to its constituencies. It provides advice to and seeks advice from the Admin Council representative. CSFC also communicates with and makes recommendations to campus committees, college committees, and/or the College Senate.

For reference, the Council’s NOVANet page is here where you will find Council members listed as well as past meeting agendas and minutes.

The February meeting is scheduled to take place on today from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. – Click here for the Zoom link to join.

The Council has dedicated this year to listening sessions, connecting the community with key leaders.

Our speakers and topics this month are:

  • Cathy Cogdill, interim academic dean and ISSC chair – Instructional and Student Services Committee Updates;
  • Donna Minnich, associate dean and PSC chair – Personnel Services Committee Updates;
  • Nate Carter, chief diversity, equity and inclusion Officer – Search Advocate Role and Opportunities

Your 2022-2023 College Staff Forum Council is looking forward to working with and for you!
