Dear Advisory Council members,
What is exciting about gathering online, for our students and faculty, but also for the council, is that it provides the opportunity to explore new and interesting ways of engaging with each other using this technology.
Thanks to those of you who offered your feedback after the Sept. 25 fall meeting and the Oct. 5 spotlight session. We will continue to offer surveys following each of our meetings, which I hope you will complete, to help us make these events as interesting and productive as possible.
With that in mind, I invite you to join us for our second virtual fall meeting on Thursday, Oct. 22, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. CST, and I am looking forward to introducing some new features to this meeting, including more time to interact with your fellow members via small breakout discussions.
Additionally, we have all wished for the opportunity to return to college and classroom learning, so I hope you’ll also indulge me in assigning a little bit of homework before Oct. 22. Look for more details in an upcoming email.
Finally, don’t forget to RSVP to cofarsvp@austin.utexas.edu so we know to expect you, and feel free to contact Sondra Lomax or Natalie Schuessler with any questions.
See you Oct. 22, and thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm.
Excelsior!
Doug Dempster
Dean
