Academic Affairs Faculty Forum Oct. 5
Provost Jeffrey Hecker will lead the first Academic Affairs Faculty Forum of 2015–16 from 3–4:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5 in the Bodwell Lounge, Collins Center for the Arts.
Over the last two academic years, the Provost’s Office, in collaboration with the Faculty Senate leadership, has held a series of Academic Affairs Faculty Forums. The forums are designed to create a venue for meaningful sharing of ideas about important initiatives in Academic Affairs. Collaboration between the faculty and administration of the university is essential if we are to advance toward our strategic goals. The tradition will continue this year.
The first of the Academic Affairs Faculty Forums for 2015–16 will focus on the first-year implementation activities from the Provost’s Action Plan on Retention and Graduation, including the “Think 30” initiative. Additionally, Provost Hecker will share updates on the University of Maine System’s “One University for all of Maine” initiative, especially as they relate to Academic Affairs.
More information is on the Provost’s website. After each forum, relevant materials will be posted online along with a space where faculty members can submit reactions, comments or questions generated by the forum.
