2024-2025 Faculty & Instructional Affairs Commission Officers

Notes from meeting...

Minutes for the Faculty/Instructional Affairs Commission

I.                     Election of the new officers – There was a nomination on the floor to move Wynne DiGrassie to Chair of the Commission, it was seconded and it was passed unanimously.

The Chair-Elect nomination was Mireya Melendez which was seconded and also passed unanimously.  There were no nominations for Secretary so the position was left vacant.

II.                   We discussed the purpose of the commission with the help of VCCA Executive Committee member Theresa Thomas.

III.                 New Business- It was discussed to email a survey to all faculty to determine their professional development interests.  Also it was suggested to make an equity in teaching tool kit or next year have a round table discussion with DEI leaders.  It was thought we should address what does a professional development budget look like for a small, medium, and large institution.  The last bit was to determine how low in class week number the Chancellor is considering going. 

IV.                We finished the meeting with Theresa Thomas giving a brief presentation on Student Success Strategies.

Prepared by Wynne DiGrassie, DVM, MS, DACT, CVA – Chair of the Commission
