SUBJECT:

2016-17 Representative Assembly Meetings

Dear Colleagues,

In advance of the October 11, 2016 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.

The meetings will be held on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Garren Auditorium of the Biomedical Sciences Building, on the following dates.

* October 11, 2016
* November 29, 2016
* January 31, 2017
* April 4, 2017
* June 6, 2017

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.

Here is the link to the Senate’s website: http://senate.ucsd.edu/

As the Chair of the Senate, I am here to represent the interests of the faculty. 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.

Kaustuv Roy Chair Academic Senate, San Diego Division
