From jeh at arizona.edu Wed Apr 1 12:58:20 2026 From: jeh at arizona.edu (Hunt, James E - (jeh)) Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2026 19:58:20 +0000 Subject: [Faculty] =?windows-1252?q?Your_Voice_Matters=3A_FSSE_Participat?= =?windows-1252?q?ion_=26_Encouraging_Student_Engagement_in_NSSE?= Message-ID: Dear Colleagues, I am writing to encourage your participation in two important university-wide efforts currently underway: the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE) and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). As recently communicated by the Office of the Provost, these surveys are a key priority for the university this semester, and I encourage you to review the message and additional details here: University of Arizona Office of the Provost. The FSSE provides an opportunity for faculty to share perspectives on teaching practices, student engagement, and the educational experiences we create in our classrooms. At the same time, NSSE gathers critical feedback from our first-year and senior students about their academic experiences, interactions with faculty, and overall engagement. Together, these surveys offer powerful, complementary insights that inform institutional improvement, support assessment efforts, and guide meaningful conversations about teaching and learning across the university. What we ask of you: * Please take 15?20 minutes to complete the FSSE if you are teaching undergraduate students this term. * Encourage your students?particularly first-year and senior students?to complete the NSSE when they receive the invitation. Faculty play a key role in student participation. Even a brief mention in class or on D2L can significantly increase response rates and ensure we gather meaningful, representative data. Higher participation ultimately leads to stronger insights that benefit our students, programs, and campus community. These data directly support our shared commitment to student success, including improving teaching effectiveness, strengthening student engagement, and enhancing career readiness outcomes. Thank you for your time, your leadership in the classroom, and your continued commitment to our students. Best regards, Jim [The University of Arizona block 'A' logo.] James E.

Message-ID: Greetings CALES Faculty! This email is a first notice that the CALES Dossier Preparation Workshops will be held during the week of May 18. More announcements will follow by email, and you will see postings in the CALES Weekly Bulleting and Tuesday Morning Notes. All CALES faculty are welcome, whether you are preparing a dossier this year or in the near future. The workshops will be held in Saguaro Hall, Room 219 from 9:00 AM to Noon and will be streamed and recorded via Zoom (links to come later). Each day will focus on a different track, BUT if you can't attend on the day of your specific track but can attend on another day, do it! I assure you that what we will cover will be relevant to your case: Monday, May 18 - Continuing-track dossier preparation Wednesday, May 20 - Tenure-track dossier preparation Friday, May 22 - Career-track dossier preparation These workshops will cover each section of the dossier. They are timed in mid-May to follow all of the other trainings and workshops available from the Vice Provost (see https://facultyaffairs.arizona.edu/promotion-workshops) and will address any remaining questions that you may have after you have completed those trainings. Thus, if you have any residual questions regarding dossier preparation or the review process, here is your chance to ask! The workshop format will be relaxed, with plenty of time for your input or questions. Feel free to attend one or both sessions. I look forward to seeing all of you there! Jeannie Jean E.
