Open Discussion

1.  Jerry stated that he will not chair the After-Graduation Party this
year.  He has emailed the members of the Excellence in Teaching Committee
to see if they will provide the leadership for the party.  A large focus
of the party has always been to honor the Excellent in Teaching nominees
and winner.  Dolores suggested having a get together after graduation at
an off-campus location.  Several Faculty Development Committee members
stated they would help with a party but not be the chair of the event.
