Due to the severe weather impacting our region, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and university leadership have made the decision to reschedule today’s Spring Faculty Assembly to a future date. More information will be shared soon.
This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and in recognition of the disruptions caused by school closures, flooding concerns, and other weather-related challenges affecting many in our community.
We remain committed to celebrating the recipients of the Spring Faculty Awards. We will announce this year’s winners soon and are planning a future event to honor their achievements more fully.
