Old Business

1. Faculty Development Charter – Jerry has distributed a copy of the Faculty Development Committee Charter at the last meeting. The Charter was discussed and all members agreed that no changes are needed in the Charter at this time. This fulfills the annual requirement of the Committee to review the Charter.

Standing Committee Reports

1. Activity Subcommittee - The follow Faculty Development Committee sponsored and co-sponsored activities are scheduled for this spring semester:
   • Program Review Workshop - Mar 14 – This is the second in the Program Review series. Faculty Development co-sponsored both workshops and will provide funds for refreshments at both.
   • Universal Course Design Workshop - Mar 22 – The presenter, Molly Boyle will receive a $500 stipend for this workshop with funding from the Dean, University College and Faculty Development. Jerry encouraged all committee members to encourage their division colleagues to attend so we can have a good turnout for this workshop.
   • Prezi Workshop – TBA – Nalani Balutski – Jerry stated he has contacted Nalani at UH and she is not sure her funding source will allow her to offer this workshop at HCC. It has been a few weeks since Jerry has heard from her and he will contact her again. Norman stated that Prezi is a useful presentation technology similar to PowerPoint.
   • Robotics Workshop - TBA – Norman stated he is running out of robot kits and will not be offering an open workshop to faculty and staff this semester.

New Business

1. WILD De-Brief – Jerry stated that WILD was a success and passed on thank-yous to the committee members from our current Wo Learning Champions, Preshess Willets-Vaquilar and Dean Crowell. The committee members who participated stated they enjoyed the sessions for the day. Carol attended the afternoon yoga session and stated it was well attended and well done.
2. Excellence in Aloha Day - 2013 – Jerry gave a heads-up to the committee members that next year will be an Excellence in Aloha Day. The bulk of the planning for this event will be handled by the Faculty Development Committee, the Staff Development Committee and Administration. He also stated he is planning on taking a sabbatical during the Spring 2013 semester. He announced that a faculty member will be given three credits of release time to be the Faculty Development Coordinator during that semester. Jerry stated he feels it should be a current or recent member of the committee.
3. Foundation Account
   • WILD - Jerry reported that there was enough money for WILD from the Wo Foundation and from registrations received so Faculty Develoment Foundation money was not needed and not used.
   • Refreshment for The Nuptial Deal Workshop – refreshments totaling $125.61 were purchased for this event. The Faculty Development Committee member agreed to fund this full amount out of the Faculty Development UH Foundation account.
   • Stipend for Universal Course Design Workshop – the Faculty Development Committee was asked to partially fund the stipend for the presenter of this workshop. The committee members agreed to contribute $100 from the Faculty Development UH Foundation account for the stipend.
   • Chicken Sales Events – Spring 2012 – Because the Farmer’s Market is now on Saturdays at HCC, Faculty Development is able to coordinate quarterly chicken sales on Sundays. Jerry stated that this Sunday, March 11 will be the winter quarter sales event and he will work with 50th State Poultry on a spring quarter sales event. The committee usually receives around $200 for each sales event.
   • After Graduation Party – Jerry assumes the After Graduation Party Committee will ask for money for their event. This will be discussed for approval at the April committee meeting or via email if the request comes in after the April meeting.
4. Spring Professional Development Fund Awards – the committee members spent considerable time discussing the awarding of the $10,000 in faculty professional development supplied by the College. Specific funding details are available from Jerry upon request. It was agreed to purchase a subscription to Teaching for Success for the 2012-13 academic year from the Faculty Development UH Foundation account. Jerry stated that there is currently a $300 off coupon available for the subscription so the cost for next year will be $695. He will submit the paperwork to UH Foundation via Nida Chock tomorrow. Jerry stated there are only two faculty members interested in attending the Hawaii Great Teachers Seminar this summer. The committee members agreed to fund one at $1200 and the second will be paid for by UH System Perkins funds. The members agreed to fund the six major conference applications at $1000 each. $2100 was earmarked for faculty professional organization memberships. It was agreed that faculty member who did not receive money for this last year will be eligible to receive money this year.
