In order to close out the academic year, the Staff Development Office is requesting that ALL travel expense requests be into the Office no later than June 1, 2001. The only exception to this will be for funded events that take place from mid-May through the summer. New Faculty Orientation Staff Development is looking for volunteers to assist with the new faculty orientation program tentatively set for August 16, 2001. If you would like to help out, contact the Office. The workshops will be held at Cypress College from August 6-9, 2001.
Enrollment is limited.
Staff Development will be able to supplement part of the cost of attending this institute. For more information, contact the Staff Development Office. The flexible calendar allows institutions to develop ways to accommodate the need to get faculty together to deal with major issues. Since the flexible calendar program removes time from the instructional program, it is a reasonable expectation that use of this time should foster instructional improvement. However, the law provides for staff improvement and student improvement as part of instructional improvement.
