Interesting Times

Hi Everyone,

We're scrambling to keep up with events as they happen, but here is what's done so far:

A transcript of Beth Walsh's opening remarks at the 2/26/09 Future of UVM Forum is now available on the SC website.

The SC Office staff are working on getting the audio file and eventually(hopefully) the video mounted on the website too. A video of highlights is posted on today's Burlington Free Press homepage- along with a text copy of President Fogel's opening remarks. There are also slides and articles posted at the Vermont Cynic. I'll pass along to you any more updates we get as they come.

The next full Staff Council meeting is Tuesday March 3rd at 12:05 in the Livak Ballroom of the Davis Center. Remember that these meetings are open to all the UVM community, and you are welcome to come listen and/or participate. The agenda is available on the Staff Council website or in printable format here.

Professor Patricia Prelock, Chair in the Department of Communications Sciences at UVM, will be speaking on Leadership from 12:15-12:45pm, and we'll also be taking nominations and then voting to choose two (2) Staff Council Representatives to serve on the Staff Council Nominating Committee. This committee is only called to action in the event that we need to nominate a new President or Vice -President, which doesn't often occur, but it is important as a contingency for it to be already in place. Please see: UVM Staff Council Bylaws-Article X.: Nominating Committee for more information and feel free to contact the Staff Council Office with any questions or concerns.

That's all for now--try not to blow away in our pre-Spring breezes, and have a good weekend,

Joanne
