Faculty & Staff Workshop, Schedule Change

We recently received notification of a workshop to be held on Friday, October 16 entitled "Meeting and Teaching Generation NeXt." The morning session is described as being valuable for faculty and staff, and the afternoon session is directed primarily to faculty. Registration is online at: www.uky.edu/IRPE/assessment.html.

To encourage your participation in this workshop, we will cancel the CHS Brunch & Learn session scheduled for 10:30 and the CHS College Meeting scheduled for noon on October 16. We had planned to vote on the Strategic Plan at the October 16 meeting. We will present an alternative for voting on the plan in the near future.
