Message from Interim Chair, Sue Schwager
The Spring semester is underway! As we are all settling into our course
schedule routine and looking to put student names and faces together (if any
of you have successful strategies for learning student names, please
consider sharing) I would like you to keep the following in mind:
If, for some reason, you will not be able to meet with any of your classes at the
scheduled time - please call the office and let us know.
We are approaching two of the worst weather months of the year. If you have not
already done so, inform your students regarding procedures you intend to follow
in case of inclement weather. Consider posting lecture notes and/or power point
slides and conducting class discussions via Blackboard. If you are not yet
sufficiently Blackboard literate to be able to pull this off, I’d be happy to show
you how.

I met with Holly Gera the first week in January and was able to tour the
renovation work underway. Holly indicated the renovations should be completed
by this summer – ready for instructional and athletic program use by September.
She was cautiously optimistic about this timetable.
Holly also indicated that she would arrange an opportunity to tour Panzer for any
interested faculty. Please let me know if you are interested and I will arrange.
The Athletic Training Education Program in conjunction with the Yogi Bera
Museum is conducting the Second Annual Yogi Bera Museum and Learning
Center Sports Medicine Workshop scheduled for Wednesday January 28, 2009.
Our Department Strategic Plan is due to the Dean on March 13th. In that plan,
we have been charged with formulating program and department goals and
objectives that are consistent with the University goals below. While we will be
able to use goals already identified in our recent Department Self Study, we will
need to re-work them a bit to show how they fit with the University Goals.
A first step will be to re-visit our Department Mission Statement and create
and Department Vision Statement. For those of you wondering what a Vision
Statement is and how it differs from a Mission Statement – I would be very happy
to share that information with you if I knew. As soon as I have some clarification
regarding these terms, I’ll let you know.

Adjunct Happenings
Please see the list of Adjuncts attached to the email and the courses they are
currently teaching. If you happen to precede or follow any of these people in our
various classrooms and teaching stations, please introduce yourselves. Adjuncts
provide valuable service to our department for very little compensation and, without
