[Plsfaculty] Faculty meeting

[Brian Larkins]

Dear PLS faculty,

 

The purpose of the upcoming faculty meeting is to review the responses I
received from the various interest groups regarding the questionnaire the
Dean wanted us to respond to with respect to what PLS is all about.  I am
attaching each of the reports, and I hope you will have a chance to read
over them before the meeting - especially the ones to which you did not
contribute.  There are many good responses with much insight about what the
department does and aspires to be.  I'm finding it challenging to distill
all of these ideas into a single document, but I hope to have it done in
time for the meeting.  

 

I thought this exercise was a good primer for the meeting we are going to
have with the Dean next week.  That meeting is intended to be a Q & A with
the Dean Burgess to ask him about his perception of PLS, CALS, the immediate
challenges we face and where he sees us going.  It is also a good
opportunity to educate him as to who we are and what we do.  I have done
that previously on a global scale, but this is your opportunity to have
input.  I hope you will plan to be there.
