United Way and Missouri Way Pledges are due by October 18!! I have submitted my contributions for these two drives. I sincerely hope that you are finding ways to give back as well – whether it be to these two organizations or to others of your choice.
You have other opportunities to give back through the Stomp Out Hunger campaign – http://publicaffairs.missouristate.edu/CommunityEngagement/default.htm There is a shoe collection box in the dean’s office if you have used shoes that you would like to bring to donate!
CNAS Space Planning Study – The architects are doing some regrouping based on feedback from last week. We are to have revised plans in the next three weeks. I will schedule a college-wide meeting in November and invite several others to join us to help answer questions.
Budgets – We have not received carryfoward amounts yet from financial services so I have not had the opportunity to make allocations. I hope to have these soon and I will make these allocations in a timely manner.
Promotion/tenure reviews are underway by departmental personnel committees. The schedule is posted on the provost website.
