SUBJECT:

All Senate Welcome

Dear Colleagues,

In advance of the October 16, 2018 Representative Assembly meeting, I
would like to take the opportunity to remind you that all Senate members
are invited to attend Representative Assembly meetings. The Chancellor
or the Executive Vice Chancellor addresses the Assembly each meeting and
provides updates to the faculty on current topics of interest. New
graduate degree programs and modifications to Divisional Senate bylaws
and regulations, which govern Senate operations and the curriculum, are
presented for a vote by the Assembly. Attending Representative Assembly
meetings is a great way to stay informed and to participate in the UCSD
educational community.
All meetings will be held on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in in the
Biomedical Sciences Building (BSB) in either Liebow Auditorium or in
Garren Auditorium, on the dates below.

· October 16, 2018 (Liebow Auditorium, Second Floor of the BSB)

· December 4, 2018 (Liebow Auditorium, Second Floor of the BSB)

· February 19, 2019 (Garren Auditorium, First Floor of the BSB)

· April 16, 2019 (Garren Auditorium, First Floor of the BSB)

· June 4, 2019 (Garren Auditorium, First Floor of the BSB)

Meeting agendas are posted on the Senate’s website five instructional
days before each meeting. The Senate’s website also provides
information on the structure of the Senate, the work performed by Senate
committees, and information on topics of interest to faculty.

Additionally, this year is the 150th Anniversary of the University of
California (UC) and the systemwide UC Academic Senate. To commemorate
this event, the UC Academic Senate is hosting an academic symposium on
October 26th and 27th at The Waterfront Hotel in Oakland, California.

As the Chair of the Senate, it is my responsibility and privilege to
represent the interests of the faculty. Accordingly, please feel free
to contact me at academicsenatechair@ucsd.edu or call
4-3640 schedule time to speak with me or to meet with me in the Senate
Office.
