Hello everyone,

How are you all doing? I hope this semester is treating you well. It's
almost over!

The reason for my email is to ask you all for a quick 2 minute task that
I'm requesting in order to update one another about both major and minor
accomplishments regarding non-senate faculty representation and
involvement. at UC Merced. I've linked a quick update form that should make
this very clear and easy:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Rnau7TwHZm0uwBKxKoKMcG60-CGwCZUrsvLnDyuUxs0/edit?usp=sharing

There are two things I'd like to report back to the Vice Provost for
Faculty and the Associate VPF:

1. What major and or minor accomplishments have you been a part of as a
non-senate representative of either UGC, Undergraduate Education, Search
Committees, and or any other relevant committees that directly impact or
involve non-sentae academics?

2. What are your thoughts about your current role in terms of how to move
forward to insure and promote continued involvement and representation for
non-senate academics?

We had a great start this year with our first executive meeting where we
established how to carry forward with two task forces that will be setting
precedence for criteria that will be used for Non-Senate Academic
Professional Development Grants and for Non-Senate Academics teaching and
research awards.

Lastly, it will be customary starting spring, 2020 to attend at least one
NSAC executive meeting in order to provide regular updates on these
processes and ways to move forward in a consistent manner. If you happen to
step away from any major campus committee where we have a voting position,
please let me know so that we can find a replacement.

P.S. DeEtte: We now have 2 votes for non-senate faculty on undergraduate ed
committee, correct? What other committees have we gained voting rights?
Which others do we need to advocate for voting rights: campus planning?
faculty welfare and diversity?

Thank you so much for your updates in advance, and I wish you all a
relaxing break!

Iris Ruiz
