•From the Chair, S. Camp–
Oct 2
I
am in my office on my new Dell computer in Brisbane. It is about 76
degrees and sunny. I am exhausted, but enjoying. At 3 I attend a
class/tutoring session in the school. My flat is plain, but cute.
Sunday I
did lots of touring Brisbane. So far, I have been on a plane, train, bus
and boat.... Hope all is well. I see the online faculty form is
continuing to spark interest. It is a very international group here... my
office mate is Chinese, and I am helping him with his English.
IV. Reports of Councils, Committees and Task
Forces

staff representation as follows: J. Carroll and F. Kirk – Accounting,
Finance & Law; J. Huonker and R. Khan – Management & Marketing; L.
Clemo – Political Science; P. Jalife – Professional Staff. The student
member is Dan Tascarella, appointed by the Student Association.

(including existing course updates and new courses) reviewed by UCC this
semester should be available on the UCC web site: www.oswego.edu/ucc. Please encourage all
faculty interested in the progress of their course submissions to check the
website for information.
Academic Outreach Council met on September 25th
and Rameen Mohammadi was voted reporter to faculty assembly and Rob Auler will
serve as the recorder. They had a successful summer session but the numbers
were down between 4-5 % more due to offering fewer graduate courses. The winter
session offerings have seen a steady growth in the last ten years we have
offered courses; this year we have scheduled 34 courses, 12 of which are
online. Tom Ingram began by discussing the summer session: roughly – it was
successful and uneventful, but numbers were down 4-5 %, largely due to offering
less graduate courses. The winter session on the other hand, has seen steady
growth from 5 courses 10 years ago to 34 this winter; 12 of which will be
offered online.
Campus Concept Committee reviewed project status in regards
to the library and quad visioning and the future of Hewitt Union.
