The Constitution of our Academic Senate
directs us to hold at least one, scheduled,
all-faculty meeting each academic year.
Faculty who are not senators and do not
attend senate meetings can be brought up
to date on the work of the Senate.
All faculty and staff have the chance to hear
from the President, the Provost, the Senate
Chair, and the Brakebill Award honoree.
