<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CALES and Cooperative Extension Service (CES) Faculty-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the CALES/CES Faculty Council Chair for 2023-2024, I am writing to share a few updates and refreshers as we kick off the year. By the end of this email, my goal is for you to be ready to engage with Faculty Council this year and moving
forward when it is helpful to you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>What is CALES/CES Faculty Council:</b> “<i>The role of Faculty Council is to formulate recommendations on how we can more efficiently manage and utilize resources to achieve greater effectiveness in carrying out our three-fold mission
of teaching, research and extension.”</i> In practical terms, Faculty Council members discuss important questions, problems, ideas, and opportunities that impact CALES and CES faculty, and bring topics to conclusion. Some examples of FC approaches to addressing
concerns and topics of our faculty constituencies include designing and conducting special projects, communicating issues to our administrators, and escalating topics to our Faculty Senators to address with Faculty Senate, among others.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Faculty Council and its members are also often invited to participate in meetings, and weigh in on various topics that concern faculty, at the request of the dean.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Faculty Council charter, membership list, meeting notes, and other important documents, are here</b>:
<a href="https://compass.arizona.edu/faculty-council">CALES/CES Faculty Council | ALVSCE Compass: Employee Resources (arizona.edu)</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Who is on Faculty Council: </b>The Faculty Council is composed of all elected and voting-eligible Faculty Senators with CALES or Cooperative Extension appointments, representatives elected by faculty within each CALES academic unit (one
per department and two per school), and two elected representatives of county-based Cooperative Extension faculty.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>When does Faculty Council meet: </b>Meetings are held on the afternoon of the first Thursday of each month. They are not public meetings, but all notes are posted to our website, within 1 week or less following the meeting.
<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
