D. INFORMATION ITEMS
In an ongoing effort to improve communication lines between the faculty and administration, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee is sponsoring two Winter term small group conversations with President Ray and faculty (academic, research and professional). These conversations will be facilitated by a Faculty Senate Executive Committee member and will consist of up to 12 faculty. This is an opportunity for the President to hear what faculty are thinking and experiencing; faculty are encouraged to speak freely. If you’d like an issue clarified, or wish to confirm a rumor, this is the place to do it!
The sessions are February 20 from 9:30-11:00 and March 5 from 1:00-2:30. If you wish to attend, please register online at https://oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8HpE7tKA7LEftSR.
