All Senate Welcome Fall 2021

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome back to a new academic year!

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 address the Assembly at each meeting and provide 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. on the dates below. The meetings will continue to be held via Zoom.

October 12, 2021
December 7, 2021
February 1, 2022

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, it is my responsibility and privilege to represent the interests of the faculty, both within the Senate and by taking the Senate’s concerns and advice to the Administration. Accordingly, please feel free to contact me at tjavidi@ucsd.edu.

Tara Javidi
Chair
Academic Senate, San Diego Division
