Faculty Senate
You are here
On behalf of the Delaware State University Faculty Senate, "Welcome!" Faculty participation in the shared governance of DSU is more important than ever. As the chair of the faculty senate I ask that you stay involved with the vital issues facing the University. In our goal to go paperless, the minutes, proposals, reports, upcoming agenda, etc. are posted for your examination on the Faculty Senate Forum on Blackboard.
If your department has not already, please forward the names of your Faculty Senator(s) and alternate(s) for the current academic year to me (jblade@desu.edu ) and the Vice Chair, Myna German (mgerman@desu.edu). Stephanie Milbourne is the Senate recorder (smilbourne@desu.edu).
Several openings are available on our senate committees. These committees are an excellent opportunity for every faculty member to provide service and leadership to the university, get to know other faculty and staff, and do the valuable work of the faculty senate. Email the me to get involved. Your service counts.
Respectfully submitted,
Jan Blade, Chair, Faculty Senate.
