Committee of Departments

 


The Faculty of Arts and Science has begun a Twitter account specifically for staff and faculty members. Follow us to stay up-to-date on important deadlines and news from the Faculty office.

The Arts and Science marketing and communications unit is inviting participation in two new groups:

Arts and Science Communicators Working Group (ASCwg)
This working group brings together staff in Arts and Science that have responsibilities related to marketing, communications, and / or recruitment - this could include content writers, designers, web managers, event coordinators, etc. The goals of this working group include message cohesion, cross-promotion of activities, and collaboration of efforts. We also hope to provide some further training opportunities through this group beyond the annual marketing MUSE conference. This working group will meet monthly. The first meeting will be Thursday, April 25 from 10:30am - 11:30am in the Faculty Office.  Please let Kate Clarke know if you would like to be a member of this working group.
 
EDI+I Communications Advisory Panel
This panel of students, faculty, and staff will advise on the marketing and communications initiatives of the Faculty and when possible participate as advisors to the Communicators Working Group on communications related projects. Most of the advisory panel work will be done by email, but a quarterly meeting will be established to review bigger initiatives and identify opportunities for improvement.
Please let Kate Clarke know if you would like to be on the EDI+I Communications Advisory Panel.
