<div>Colleagues,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wish to welcome you to a new academic year and to remind you that the first meeting of the 2013-2014 Academic Senate will be held on Wednesday, September 4th at 4:00 PM in the DeBartolo Hall Auditorium (Room 122). As a college/departmental, administrative,
and student representative, I strongly urge you to mark 4:00 PM on the first Wednesdays of each month on your calendars as a reminder to attend Senate meetings. We will have many challenges before us this coming academic year and your input will be crucial.
