Full-Time Teaching Faculty: VOTE for Your Reps on the Ad Hoc Appointment Advisory Committee by Oct. 29

To all full-time teaching faculty, please vote for your full-time teaching faculty peers to serve on the Ad Hoc Appointment Advisory Committee. (Please note this vis ONLY for full-time teaching faculty.) Please Vote for three people. You may read their Candidate Statements here.

We are creating the Ad Hoc Appointment Committee to review multi-year appointments as required by the VCCS. Please review the VCCS policy below. In order to fill in  the positions, we must have an election. Thankfully, a few brave teaching faculty colleagues have volunteered to run for the three openings. And we have one professional faculty volunteer, so we don’t need an election there.  

Here are the teaching faculty candidates:

Again, please vote for only THREE. The link is NOW live. Please Vote Here by Tuesday, October 29 at 5 p.m.  

If you have problems voting, please reach out to BOTH Melanie Jenkins, MJenkins@nvcc.edu; and Jack Lechelt, JLechelt@nvcc.edu.
