No word yet on who will be chosen as the finalists. The Search Committee recommended that candidates should visit more than one campus during final interviews, but it is not clear whether this will occur physically or through some electronic link. The Hazleton Faculty Senate Constitution, approved last spring, was forwarded to the University Faculty Senate Secretary, who lost it. Hence our Constitution has not yet received final approval. A new copy has been forwarded to the UFS Council, and hopefully offical word will come soon.
Congratulations are due for their many years of excellent service.
On Thursday, October 2, at 4 PM, in K-118, the Advisory Committee for the New Business Degree will be convened by Bob Pesci, our incoming business faculty member, who will give a Powerpoint presentation on the program. The campus has been cleared to offer this program, starting in Fall 1999. Advisors in the Smeal College of Business Admin. are urged to attend this meeting. Other faculty may wish to attend, as additional English and Speech Comm. Other elective courses will be needed to help students build 4-year schedules, and faculty will need to be approved for these.
