Spring 2026
It has been an exciting fall semester with lots of energy and positive vibes on campus. As we are preparing for a welcome holiday break, I want to share the spring in-service agenda with you.
There are many aspects of this agenda that will look familiar to you with sessions that you would expect to see each spring such as the General Session, School Meetings, Faculty Meeting, and the Employee Recognition Ceremony, just to name a few.
You will notice, however, that much of this agenda is devoted to Digital Accessibility Open Lab time and Faculty Class Preparation time. With the quickly approaching April 2026 deadline for making our digital materials accessible, we wanted to ensure that you have plenty of time and support to make this happen. Whether you are faculty working on your class materials or staff on your office forms and documents, these open labs will help you. Both in-person and Zoom options as well as day, afternoon, and evening options will be offered.
Other topics of interest include a speaker from EAB during the General Session, a session on Work-Based Learning, a Leadership Learning Series kickoff, a Faculty Development Day, and a Day of Service. We hope that everyone will find something that is meaningful to you during this in-service.
For faculty, the syllabus policy has recently changed. The slightly revised policy creates a syllabus module in Canvas that includes your faculty policies in the faculty syllabus, a section for College policies such as ADA and Title IX, and a section for your course outline. Please review this policy and its updates before creating your spring syllabi. I-86: Syllabus Requirements – Academic, Workforce, and Student Affairs Policies – Virginia Western Community College
Please see the attached agenda for the entire schedule. As in the past, a detailed agenda with Zoom links will be available in Canvas. Wishing each of you a well-deserved holiday break to spend time with family, rest, and recharge. I look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
My Best,
Dr. Elizabeth Wilmer
Vice President of Academic and Workforce Solutions
