The above link serves as a collection of resources for our department chairs and program coordinators. While every department will have its own approaches, templates, and other materials, we hope to post information and documents that might streamline your work.
As a reminder: the primary source of all official documents for chairs/coordinators can be found below. Take some time to browse the contents so you have a sense of what materials, timelines, and forms are already loaded and available to you.
The site is a work in progress; if you have ideas about what else would be helpful, let us know! Happy chairing/coordinating...
The Department Chair Handbook below was migrated from the SMCM Portal/Dean of Faculty Tab to the ACAF Unofficial Directory as of August 1, 2023. We are in the process of updating the resources and truly appreciate your patience as we continue to do so. Questions? Please contact us. Thanks!
