Volunteers needed for Provost hiring committee
Dear Adjunct Faculty Colleagues,

Thank you for taking the time to read this email. I know it is the end of the semester and you are very busy, as am I.

However, I wanted to pass along this important information about the hiring of the new Provost/Chief Academic Officer.

Our Adjunct Faculty Association has been asked to submit 5 names for consideration on the hiring committee. To ensure a diverse candidate pool the administration will select 2 faculty members from the 5 names submitted. The final selections will be made in keeping with our district's emphasis on having a diverse, equitable and inclusive search committee.

If you have never served in this capacity before, this is an excellent opportunity to learn so much. If you are interested in serving, please complete the volunteer form - Provost Hiring Committee link below.

I look forward to seeing your nominations and interest in the Provost Hiring Committee. Please make your submission no later than 15 May.
If you can't volunteer but want to give us your input on what would make a good Provost, join us for a collegewide virtual listening session for faculty on Friday, May 14 from 10am-11am. Share your opinions to help inform the work of the hiring committee. 

Other additional future listening sessions for other employee groups will be held, so tell your colleagues to keep their eyes peeled for the session that is right for them. 

If you are unable to attend, but would like to provide input,  you may also  share your thoughts using this form. All employees will have one opportunity to submit the form. You will be asked to log in with ACCeID, but no identifying information will be released or shared. 

Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
