CURRICULUM COMMITTEE
Curricular work is an essential function of any academic department, and course- and program-level decisions should be made in a transparent and collective way. Our department has much curricular work to do in order to update our current offerings, propose new offerings, and design new programs of study (Liberal Arts concentrations and, perhaps, a major with different specializations).
Members: Chairperson Sara Rutowski, Carl Schlacte, Matthew Gartner, Robert Cowan
NOMINATIONS COMMITTEE
The Nomination Committee, affectionately known as the Nom Com, facilitates all the in-house elections of our department.
Members: Cheryl Smith, Gregory Bruno, Megan O’Neill
