Dear Faculty Colleagues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A light Standard this week.  Summer session wraps up in three weeks (8\/8), we go back on contract in four weeks (8\/16), and fall 21 starts in five weeks (8\/23).  Time to get on that list of things you were going to do this summer, as there\u2019s only a few weeks (on the calendar, anyway) of summer to go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week I draw your attention to a couple very important events you\u2019ll want to attend.  The college is looking into adopting a new lecture capture technology called Panopto.  Will it replace the lecture capture tools we currently use?  I don\u2019t know, and if you don\u2019t, you should definitely plan to attend the Panopto demo on Thursday 7\/22.  As we prepare to return to campuses August 23rd<\/sup>, we\u2019re starting to hear about dangerous spikes in the Delta variant among the unvaccinated. Will students be required to be vaccinated and masked upon their return?  I don\u2019t know, and if you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll want to participate in the Chancellor\u2019s Conversation on Friday 7\/23 so you can ask all your burning questions and hear directly from the top about what the fall has in store for us.  See the Newsworthy<\/strong> section below for all the details about these opportunities, and others, designed to keep you in touch with leadership and to let your voice be heard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay safe.  Stay cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senate Meetings \/ Minutes \/ Agendas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The July 9th<\/sup> Full-Time Faculty Senate meeting minutes are currently in review. They will be posted once approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will not hold a Full-Time Faculty Senate meeting during August, as our bylaws require only two summer meetings (June and July).  The new senate will be seated during it\u2019s kick off retreat, but that will be a closed meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panopto Lecture Capture Tool Demo [Thursday, July 22nd]:<\/strong> Join TLED’s Office of Academic Technology<\/a> in a College-wide demo of Panopto and provide feedback on how this enterprise-level tool may support the use of video for the next 10 years. This session will be interactive and attendees will be asked to complete an evaluation to provide feedback on the features and functionalities of Panopto as well as how the tool compares to lecture capture tools<\/a> currently supported at ACC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
