Seattle Program CenterPlease save the date for our annual A&H Division retreat, Wednesday, September 14, which will be held at the Mountaineers’ Seattle Program Center in Magnuson Park

MORE DETAILS will be sent out later in the summer as the retreat draws nearer, but here’s the latest info:

  • The planning committee (Jen Anderson, Ron Holland & Craig Hurd-McKenney) has been working on the agenda for several months.  Once it’s finalized, Maggie Harada will send it out to the division.
    • Adjunct faculty who participate will receive a $100 stipend.
    • The retreat is a designated DIVISION DAY, which means that full-time faculty are REQUIRED to ATTEND or complete an absence form (see 14.1.4 in the contract)
