Cynthia Smith and Jan Petersen to assist with an assessment workshop for
the University College.  He is also planning a Writing Intensive workshop

suggested that Gary James and Muriel Fujii could offer a workshop on
serving local ESL students.  These are students who grew up in Hawaii but

this workshop.  Jerry asked all committee members to think of activities
and solicit ideas from their division colleagues for spring semester
activities.

run the party in partnership with the Excellence in Teaching Committee
members.

approximately $7200 left to distribute in Professional Development Awards

the March committee meeting date and the applications will be evaluated
and money decisions made at that meeting.

suggested that a mentoring program be set up.  Cynthia met with Lorry
Suehiro and Jerry to discuss this.  A joint Faculty Development Committee

members attend this meeting and bring ideas and resources for a faculty
mentoring program.

an annual Faculty and Staff Development donation campaign.  Jerry has been
tasked with soliciting donations for the Faculty Development Fund from
faculty members.  The members present agreed that an email solicitation to
