Friday Memo, 1/6/17

Happy New Year!

The Spring Faculty Conference was held today.  We heard a moving devotional from Amy Brinkley, fascinating statistics about our freshman from Andy Chambers, and updates from Amber Henry, Amber Pyatt, Brenda Bradford, and me regarding new programs and accreditations.

Here are some slides from Andy's presentation regarding ways in which faculty can help our students be successful. Please take a few minutes and review this information, especially if you were not here this morning.



Tina Ketterer
Today was Tina Ketterer's last day. We will miss Tina's contributions to the Counseling Program. She truly cared about students and was an amazing administrative assistant to Mary Ann Conaway. We are in the process of finding a replacement. Tina will be checking her email periodically during this time of transition, but please know that we are directing students to contact their course instructor and/or advisor for immediate assistance.

Master Schedule Changes for Fall 17 and Spring 18
If you want to make any changes to the master schedule for next school year, you need to email me and Mary Ann Bouas by Thursday, January 12th at noon. Now is the time! If you have wanted to change the night of the week or time of one or more of your classes, you need to make that request as soon as possible. Or if you have suggestions for more efficient course offerings due to low enrollment, please email me your thoughts.

Classes begin January 9.  Is your Canvas shell ready?

Things to Remember
  • Don't forget to submit grade books to Thea Abraham.
  • Division Faculty Meeting   Tuesday, 1/10/17  10:15am   Field Conference Room
Closing Thoughts
Dr. Amy Brinkley's devotional this morning was an excellent reminder of how important our work is here as we interact with students. She stated that our work has deeper and more eternal significance than we can even imagine. We need to live out Calvary Love to our students and colleagues. May God bless you and give you opportunities this semester to model and live out this Calvary Love.
