As this year’s Faculty Senate President, I’d like to introduce myself and welcome everyone to a new academic year. My name is Allison Giffen, and I am a professor in the English department. In this blog, I’ll be offering updates on the important work of the Faculty Senate, along with useful links, events, and information pertinent to all our work.

I do hope you will look to this blog to find out what is happening in shared governance on this campus. Today, it is more urgent than ever before that faculty have a strong voice and participate in the university. I look forward to a productive year!
