Spring Semester Start-Up
The Spring Semester is right around the corner! Our website is designed to make sure all of the information you need for semester planning is right at your fingertips. Below is the information you will need for the first two weeks and a quick overview of some of the upcoming Spring semester events.
First and Second Week Activities
There are several events that you may find particularly useful as you begin the new semester. The first is the Chancellor's All-University Address and Chili Luncheon. These events allow all of us a chance to reflect on our goals as a university, and to reconnect with colleagues and friends. The Seventh Annual Teaching and Learning Day is another excellent place to mingle with colleagues and to be inspired for the new semester. For details on these and other events, please visit the First and Second Week Calendar.
