Subject: VP position/election
Academic Senate Representatives-
I would like to respectfully submit my name for consideration
as a nominee for the position of Academic Senate vice-president in the upcoming
elections for the 2010-2011 academic year.
I have enjoyed my time serving as vice-president over the past three
semesters and I would welcome the opportunity to continue learning about shared
governance in the capacity. I wish
you all a successful semester and I look forward to continuing my work with you
in the fall as the life sciences representative and, if elected, as the
vice-president.
Sincerely,
Heather Faust
