this point in time, hence my call for anyone that is interested in serving on this Council. I would like to thank Becky for her engaged service! I am sure she can convincingly articulate to you the importance of this committee in voicing faculty concerns
to the higher administration. I have served previously, and recognize the critical role of this committee in providing faculty input. If you are invested in the concept of faculty governance, this is an important conduit for your beliefs and those of your
colleagues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
