Winter 2022 Discussion Forums with the Senate Chair & Vice Chair

Dear Colleagues,

Vice Chair Nancy Postero and I are hosting a series of four discussion forums in late January/early February for Senate members. While the forums provide an opportunity for us to share updates on current Divisional Senate initiatives, the main goal is to provide a space to hear about issues of interest to the faculty. Each of the forums will focus on a different area of campus, to ensure we hear the most diverse feedback and have robust discussion. We encourage you to attend the session scheduled for your discipline, but all Senate members are welcome to attend any of the sessions.

The discussion forums will be held on Zoom. The schedule and registration links are below. The meeting link will be e-mailed to participants following registration.

Wednesday, January 26th, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Register

Focus: Arts & Humanities, Social Sciences, Management, Global Policy and Strategy

Wednesday, February 2nd, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Register

Focus: Engineering, Marine Sciences

Thursday, February 3rd, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Register

Focus: Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences

Tuesday, February 8th, 4:00 – 5:00 p.m. Register

Focus: Health Sciences

Although the sessions will start at 4:00, we ask attendees to begin logging in at 3:50 to allow time for each participant to be admitted into the meeting. We also ask that your Zoom name match your real name, so that you may be identified.

You are invited to submit questions before the event by emailing academicsenateoffice@ucsd.edu. This will give us an opportunity to best prepare but is, of course, not necessary.

Nancy and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Tara Javidi
Chair
Academic Senate, San Diego Division
