Two new initiatives began this week as part of the ongoing investment
in strengthening communication and collaboration between leadership,
faculty and staff.
The GV Faculty Focus podcast features a brief but deep one-on-one
conversation between President Philomena V. Mantella and a faculty
member, allowing a look into the faculty member’s work and impact on
students and the greater community.
The debut episode with Matthew Daley, professor of history, will
arrive on all major podcast platforms later this week and will also be
found on the president’s webpage. Subsequent episodes will follow
every month.
Monday, the first "Insights and Ideas" session took place
as staff members from across the university gathered with Mantella,
Vice President of People, Equity, and Culture Robert Shorty and Acting
Provost Jen Drake. This free-flowing discussion focused on building
solutions and increasing engagement to strengthen our university.
Several more discussions are scheduled for this semester. Faculty and
RSVP for a session at this
website, staff can RSVP for a session at this website.
Both the GV Faculty Focus podcast and Insights resulted from feedback
asking for increased opportunities for connection and information.
University Awards for Excellence were presented, in addition to awards from the Center for Scholarly and Creative Excellence, and Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center.
