Faculty Development Committee Meeting 5F Minutes
                         November 5, 2002


Present:  P. Ackles, L. Carroll, H. Hall, B. Hirstein, S. LaMorte, H. Noice, 
          E. Swallow (Chairperson)


1.   The meeting was called to order at 2:43 PM.
2.   The minutes from the October 22, 2002 meeting were approved without
     corrections.
3.   International Education Grants: W. Lagerwey is working on applications 
     for the Bradley Seminar in Berlin and Prague.  To date, there are no 
     written requests.
4.   Grant Writing Workshop: S. LaMorte expressed his excitement about the 
     attendance (~20 people attended).  He asked the committee for    
     suggestions on how to improve the presentation or ideas for a follow-up 
     presentation/workshop.  It was suggested that perhaps a presentation for
     the Humanities division would be beneficial (disciplines where it is more 
     difficult to find available money).  Possible basis for a division meeting?  
5.   PafET: H. Noice made a copy of all of the student organizations and gave 
     it to L. Carroll.  L. Carroll will "nudge" student organizations and SGA to 
     begin thinking about nominating a faculty member for this award.   
     E. Swallow added that organizations could get a head start by looking on 
     the Faculty Development web page for material from previous years.
6.   Draft Materials for Spring Term: E. Swallow will add that "the Faculty 
     Development Committee would like to have a descriptive title and a one 
     sentence synopsis of the proposed activities that would be appropriate 
     for a press release."  This will aid in developing the information needed 
     for Honor's Convocation.
7.   Travel Grant Requests: The committee discussed the travel grants.
8.   Faculty Presentations:   The first date is set for November 7 at 11:30 in 
     the Library.  Presenters include: K. Haywood, J. Grimes, and D. Goetz.
9.   The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 PM.

Respectfully submitted,
