Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Faculty Senate Council!  Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, October 9th, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. in Lucas Hall, Polycom Executive Classroom 107 (please note the new meeting location.) The agenda and minutes for approval are linked here.

If you are new to the Senate, please take a few minutes before the meeting to familiarize yourself with the role of the Faculty Senate Council in our shared governance process.  Useful resources can be located on the Senate website here: https://www.scu.edu/faculty-senate/.  The Faculty Senate is governed by Bylaws and Election Rules found in Appendix A of the Faculty Handbook. 

At this first meeting, I will ask everyone to introduce themselves. If you can share your title, department/school affiliation, and area of teaching/research/expertise, that would be great! Part of the meeting will be devoted to discussing several important proposals brought from the Faculty Affairs Committee (please reference the documents in our agenda), followed by an introduction and Q&A session with our new Provost, Jim Glaser.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Teresa McCollough
Faculty Senate President, 2024-25
