Dear Faculty Association Members,
As we embark on a new academic year, I am reminded of our Faculty Association motto: "Unity is Strength." To build trust and foster stronger shared governance, the Faculty Association is committed to enhancing transparency and open communication with all faculty members. This year will be a time of listening, gathering information for data-driven decisions, and understanding your needs to better serve and support you. Your participation and voices are crucial for driving the positive changes we all wish to see. Together, we can create a culture where every faculty member feels heard and valued.
Right now, we have one open position on the FA Executive Board: Communications Chair. Please email me (Rachel.Marcial@slcc.edu) if you are interested in that position.
Rachel Marcial
President, SLCC Faculty Association
