I'm happy to report that all of our courses planned for this semester have made so far. This achievement is due to the joint efforts of our classified employees and faculty to advise, recruit, assess, and register the students throughout the winter break. I am both proud to be part of this caring team and grateful for everyone's contributions to this early success.
This semester, our monthly department meetings will continue to be on the first Friday of each month. Thus, we ill meet on 2/1, 3/ 7, 4/4, and 5/2. We typically meet in A-15 from 9:30 to 11:30. Although adjunct attendance is not required, the meetings are open to all.
If you wish to travel to a conference this spring, please submit your travel request form ASAP as travel funds are limited and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. CATESOL 2008 has the following two deadlines that you may want to watch closely.
- Feb. 7 for applying for the Rick Sullivan Travel Award.
- Feb. 28 for early-bird registration.
Prop 92 makes college affordable again by reducing student fees and stabilizing funding at the community colleges. Please do what you can to support the measure, such as voting yes for Prop 92 on Feb. 5 and sending an email to your state lawmakers to ask for their endorsement now.
Within our dept., program coordinators will continue to have all the latest information and policies to ensure a smooth operation of our programs. But if I can be of any help, please do not hesitate to email me, call me, or stop by my office in A-20D on the main campus.
I hope you all have a very smooth start to the new semester.
