This issue provides important updates and highlights a range of recent scholarly activities among faculty in the college.
News and Updates
Congratulations to Sue Mc Intyre, Curriculum and Instruction, and Kate Reynolds, Foreign Languages and Curriculum and Instruction, for having their proposals for sabbatical leave in 2007-2008 selected for submission to UW System Administration for review and approval by the Board of Regents at their December meeting.
Congratulations to Suzanne Olson, who was recently hired as the college’s new full-time Budget Officer. Ms. Olson has moved into Brewer 151C so her office will be more conveniently located to faculty and staff. The Brewer Break Room has been moved to her previous office, Brewer 52.
Please RSVP to Sandy Schulner schulnss@uwec.edu by November 27 if you plan to attend the Forum on Academic Freedom, Wednesday, December 6, 4:00-5:30 p.m. This event will begin with brief comments by several panelists including Ken Schmidt, Curriculum and Instruction, to frame issues, with roundtable discussions, and “reporting out” or full discussion to close the session. Wine, soft drinks, and refreshments will be provided. We hope that you will take an opportunity to join colleagues for a brief change of pace before the final rush of the semester and to discuss a core academic issue that is important to all of us. Suggested background reading for the session includes the following brief statement by the Association of American Colleges and Universities on “Academic Freedom and Educational Responsibility” http://www.aacu.org/About/statements/documents/AcademicFreedom.pdf
The Teacher Education Field Experience Office has purchased a one-year subscription to Zoomerang, an online survey tool. The tool enables you to construct surveys, create address books to distribute surveys, and analyze survey results. You can get feedback immediately and analyze results online. If you are interested in accessing this online survey tool through the Field Experience Office’s subscription, please contact Jill Prushiek.
SAVE THE DATES for two outstanding professional development opportunities dealing with diversity with details to follow:
- COEHS Faculty and Staff Retreat at the new RCU Meeting Room on Thursday, January 18. The ad hoc Diversity Committee has invited several outstanding facilitators for this retreat.
- Dr. Allan Johnson, author of Power, Privilege, and Difference and popular university speaker, will present a Brown Bag Seminar and a general presentation at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 5.
All students in the college may now apply to the COEHS Diversity Fund for financial assistance to support intercultural experiences. Information about the fund and the criteria and the student application form are located with other Forms and Documents on the college website. See http://www.uwec.edu/coehs/forms/DiversityEducationFundDescriptionCriteria.doc and http://www.uwec.edu/coehs/forms/ApplicationForm.doc
The Fults Scholarship for teacher education students recently received a $50,000 contribution which substantially increases the principal in this fund.
The latest university undergraduate enrollment data by first majors for Fall 2006-07 places our college as the second largest college on campus with 2,433 students, 24% of the total. By comparison, Arts and Sciences represent 49%, College of Business 19% and Nursing and Health Sciences 8%.
College Strategic Plan Priorities and Implementation
At their next meeting on Nov. 30, the COEHS Chairs Council will consider the dean’s draft proposal for a process and timeline for implementing the COEHS Strategic Plan based on the following top priorities (listed below in unranked order) that you determined in our Cargill Lab Exercise:
Establish a curricular review process to stimulate collaborative leadership elements in all programs by initiating discussion among college faculty and, pending approval, moving to departments for implementation.
Encourage and support “out of the box” innovative thinking and action as well as interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching as a way to energize and renew members of the college as a whole.
Increase collaborations that result in interdisciplinary scholarly inquiry within and among departments.
Plan and convene meetings/programs/conferences on campus within or among departments that enable faculty and students to share and discuss research in their fields of interest.
Encourage departments to make various forms of scholarship part of their personnel plans or criteria for merit increases in salary.
Design and implement a marketing plan for the college and its course offerings.
Honor and increase diversity within the college by implementing additional faculty and student recruitment and retention initiatives, including outreach to PK-12 students from underrepresented groups to encourage college attendance.
Determine how to use the college diversity data that has been collected to make recommendations for increasing diversity and decreasing structural barriers to inequality.
Maintain and expand partnerships with agencies such as the Aldine School District in Texas and Prince George’s County School District in Maryland that offer culturally diverse field experiences for students.
Collaborate with the Office of Multicultural Affairs on programs to encourage PK-12 students of color to plan early for attending college and considering a field represented in our college.
__________
Department chairs will share information about the approved implementation process and associated timeline in department meetings.
