1. Spring Activities - Spring Activities were discussed.  Faculty
Development is co-sponsoring a series of URL workshops presented by the
Information Technology Center.  Fac Dev will also co-sponsor a workshop
with the Committee on Social Equity later in the semester.  Jerry
mentioned he is planning to facilitate one or two more Teacher Talking
Seminars this semester.  The Wo Innovation in Learning Day (WILD) this
past Friday has consumed the time and energy of the Committee members so
far this semester.

2. Newsletter - Jerry stated that a Spring Newsletter would be printed and
posted on the web in April.  There are three new faculty members this
semester whose bios will be included.  He asked all members of the
Committee to identify colleagues who have participated in professional
development activities that can be highlighted in the spotlight section of
the Newsletter.

3. WILD Debrief - Jerry summarized the activities of last Friday's WILD.  
The final attendance count was 145 and the vast majority of the
evaluations received rated the morning sessions Excellent and Very Good.
Lisa Yogi, HCC 3rd Generation Wo Learning Champion, will be submitting a
report to the Wo Committee.  The continuation of WILD will be based on the
evaluation from around the System, and the decisions of the Council of
Chancellors and the Council of Chief Academic Officer.

4. Faculty Development Foundation Account - A financial statement was
distributed.  Leon's "chicken sales" have been a real boom to the account.
The Committee reconfirmed the commitment from an earlier email survey of
all Fac Dev Committee members, to fund, up to $100, meals for teachers at
the Spring HCC to High School Weekend and to fund leis and refreshments at
an upcoming workshop co-sponsored by Fac Dev and the Committee on Social
Equity.

5. Graduation Party - Jerry stated that because there was no campus
Christmas Party, efforts would be made to organize an after graduation
party.  He will talk to Lorry Suehiro about co-sponsoring the party with
the Staff Development Council.  He will also ask Earl Nakahara if there
will be UHPA money to help fund the party.  Jerry stated that the Fac Dev
Committee is not the social committee for the campus, but asked that all
members consider assisting with the after graduation party.

6. Committee Membership Next Year - The Committee on Committees has
distributed committee request forms for next year.  Jerry encouraged all
members who are currently serving their first to reconsider serving on the
Fac Dev Committee again next year.

7. End-of-Year Letter - Jerry stated that he submits an end-of-year report
to the FSEC Chair, Chancellor, and Dean of Academic Affairs.  He asked all
Committee members to be thinking about submitting an end-of-year letter,
including a reflection of this year's activities and ways to improve next
year's initiatives, before the end of the semester.

8. The Committee ended the meeting by reviewing Spring 2004 Professional
Development Fund applications and awarding $3495 in Spring funds.  
Applications and funding awards are on file and available for viewing upon
request.

The meeting was adjourned at 2:35 pm.
