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.
