Dear CAS Faculty and Staff,

 

We’re almost halfway through the semester, and we’re continually grateful for all your hard work to help keep this university running. Thank you.

 

We wanted to let you know that CAS Outreach’s multimedia producer, Donovan Potts, has left OSU to start his own videography business in the Seattle area. We wish him well, and we have begun the process of hiring his replacement. If you know anyone who might be a good fit, please tell them to apply ASAP.

 

Also, we wanted to remind you about our institutional membership with the National Center for Faculty Development & Diversity. The NCFDD is an independent professional development, training and mentoring community for faculty members, postdocs and graduate students dedicated to supporting academics in making successful transitions throughout their careers.

 

As part of a member institution, you are eligible for NCFDD membership and all the resources that come with it.
