Fall 2025
I am excited to welcome you to our fall semester in-service as we prepare to start our new school year. This is a particularly noteworthy in-service as we also welcome our new president, Dr. Laura Treanor.
Dr. Treanor is eager to meet you, get to know our campus community, and hear about the important work happening in your areas. She will be attending many of our in-service sessions and looks forward to kicking off many of our meals and group sessions.
We will also be welcoming ten new faculty during this in-service and have sessions specifically to help onboard and orient them as they begin their new roles. These include a session with HR on August 18 and an orientation with the deans of August 19.
We will spend time during in-service talking about AI and digital accessibility, as these are both important and complex topics for each of us. In addition to a lunch-and-learn focused on these topics, there will be digital accessibility open labs where you can pop in and get assistance with ensuring that your materials are compliant. These open labs are available to all and can support both faculty and staff.
Another highlight of the agenda is the high school expectations panel. This is a panel of high school faculty representing different school systems and disciplines who will speak to faculty about the expectations that recent high school graduates have as they leave high school and enter college. This session is intended to provide a better understanding of our students as we help them transition to the expectations of college.
Our adjunct meeting will offer valuable topics to both our credit and workforce adjunct faculty. Dual enrollment faculty will have a separate in-service on September 3. More information will be provided after the high schools have started.
Please see the attached agenda for the entire schedule and other sessions of interest. We look forward to seeing each of you and to a successful start to the next academic year.
My Best,
Dr. Elizabeth Wilmer
Vice President of Academic and Workforce Solutions
