2002-03 Academic Calendar
The calendar for next year was negotiated with CCFT, reviewed by the Faculty Senate, and approved by the Governing Board in January. I will attach it.

Reorganization
I am pleased to announce that the Search and Selection Committee for the Division Dean for Math, Science, and Engineering recommended Wanda Garner.

Instructional Planning
Plans are due February 2002 for those programs that began Instructional Planning in Spring 2001. Those programs are: Small Business, Medical Assistant, Chemistry, Journalism, Speech Communications, Geology/Oceanography, Psychology, Music and the Stroke Center.

Margo Lynn Trombetta Infant Center
Several years ago the Early Childhood Education program was honored with a grant to implement the Program for Infant Toddler Caregivers. Our instructional program has modeled care of 3 to 5 year olds and toddlers for some time but has not had an appropriate facility for infants. Recent gifts from the Packard and Trombetta Foundations enabled the college to build the facility and begin to model the theories the program has taught in the area of infant care. The center is named in memory of a beloved colleague and friend to the ECE department.

Admissions & Records
Gloria Garing sends her appreciation to all of you for meeting Fall and Wintersession grades deadlines. She says it made Paula's job easier, and allowed students to access grades sooner. Regarding this spring......students can no longer register for full-term courses using Cyber Reg or Hawk Talk. Students who wish to take these full-term courses must attend the first day of class to add. As last semester, during the first week of this semester, if a class is open and has not met, students can register for it at the Fireside Lounge, without an add slip. (i.e., if the class meets Tuesday, the 5th and Thursday, 7th, students can register on Monday, the 4th, for the class at the Fireside Lounge). Cyber Reg and Hawk Talk are still available for students to drop courses, add late starting/short-term classes beginning after February 14, and check grades.
