upon request.

The non-Faculty Development Committee Members were excuses and the meeting
progressed.
- Spring Activities - The follow activities are proposed for the spring
semester:
- Carol Hasegawa and Marty Nikou Public Art Workshop
- Cyndi Uyehara and Iris Saito on Puppet Making
Cyndi stated she believes there is a need for Laulima Workshops for non-DE
instructors. Jerry said her would contact Jonathan Wong and set up a
series of two workshops later in February. Jerry distributed a schedule
of DE professional development activities recently sent from Cynthia
Smith, Lianne Nagano and Pat Patterson. Faculty Development is
co-sponsoring these events and will provide refreshments if wanted. Jerry
encouraged the members to attend as they can/want.
-
Faculty Development Charter - Jerry distributed a Faculty Development
Charter copied from the Committee section of the HCC Intranet. He stated
this is the Committee's required annual update of the Charter. The
Charter will stand unless any members send needed changes to Jerry by the
end of February.
-
Faculty Exchange - Over Christmas break, a faculty member, Dr.
Gary Klein, from Westchester Community College in Valhalla, New York,
visited the campus and talked to Ralph Kam about a faculty exchange
program between his College and HCC. Ralph handed off Gary's contact
information to Jerry and they have been communicating. Jerry tracked down
a UH Administrative Procedure for faculty exchange which is very
straightforward. Jerry has announced this possibility to the HCC faculty
and had received several responses from interested colleagues. Jerry will
continue this discussion with Gary and see where the partnership leads.
-
Spring Faculty Professional Development Money - Jerry shared an
email from Ken Kato who informed the Committee that he has $20,000 for
faculty professional development this spring. He also stated he has an
additional $10,000 for faculty grant activities. Because no applications
were received in the fall, all money will be distributed this spring.
Friday, March 4 at 4:30 pm was set as the application deadline. Funding
decisions will be made at the March 11 Faculty Development meeting. Jerry
will inform the faculty of this and let colleagues know the application is
available on-line.
