Given the unique and difficult circumstances of academic year 2020-2021, the College Advisory Council will host monthly meetings with Dean Long and the Associate Deans in February, March, and April, with our regularly scheduled spring semester college meeting in May. These meetings should provide time for updates related to the COVID context and the Budget Reduction Task Force initiatives, and time for open conversation. Meetings will be recorded, and recordings and transcripts are available on our shared college staff and faculty Microsoft Teams channel.

The CAC would like to hear from all faculty and staff in the College. We are here to serve you.
