New member gathering

The FA hosted a new member gathering at Miller’s Ale House in Lake Grove on Thursday, March 25. There was food, drink and good union company. The FA officers love to meet with new hires and hear about their first semesters at the college at this annual event.

Adjunct office space

I am pleased to report that Dean Ciampa emailed faculty that N4 in the Nesconset Building on the Grant Campus is now dedicated as an adjunct office. This is a great relief after the original adjunct office was closed due to building renovations. Dean Ciampa is also working on replacing the chairs in the Sagtikos Building. I thank her for her attention to these issues. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with the adjunct office spaces on your campus. Here is the list of adjunct offices at the college with the Nesconset Building addition.
