Forging partnerships

  • Should the committee seek to identify possible partners across the university and work to strengthen ties with them?

Information gathering

Enhancing graduate teaching

  • Are the needs outlined in the Fall 2023 memo still relevant in Fall 2024?
  • If successful, will the 2024-25 searches mitigate some of the needs?
  • What else could or should be done?
