These are just some of Faculty Senate's achievements since 2013. The Senate has been an active member of shared governance at FSW in collaboration with the current administration. I have worked with my fellow committee members to build and open channels of communications at all levels of the FSW administration, but especially focusing on a successful relationship with the Provost which allowed us to meet many of our goals. As Faculty Senate President, I believe in strong values and transparency. I have enjoyed working with the diverse minds and the many-faceted perspectives of not just my fellow committee members, but the faculty body as a whole. And while we have made great strides, there is still work that needs to be done.
