A reminder that tomorrow (Friday) at 11 am in the conference room there is a faculty meeting.<br>
I believe I will probably miss the meeting, myself, as I have another meeting to attend for the College Admin Staff Council.<br>
<br>
Attached are brief minutes from the meeting where committee assignments were decided - I imagine that may be the last meeting.</div>

The first meeting will be split into three parts. First is an overview of the department and College key developments this year. Second is a discussion and update on Core 34 and College expectations and requirements for the department. Third is mandatory Tile
IX training and someone from the College will come to discuss this for the last part of the meeting.</div>

The second faculty meeting on November 8<sup>th</sup> will be on POLS program (undergraduate and graduate) evaluation and the expectations coming down from KBOR, the University and the College. We will review what we have regarding assessment plans, and what
we need to meet current requirements. Finally, we will discuss ways the department can manage the assessment plan/material. </div>
