Ģ����Ƶ

As you finalize your course plans, I invite you to submit applications to the Beyond Ģ����Ƶ program, which supports course-related travel for spring 2026.

We are writing about the final exam period, end-of-semester assignments, and self-scheduled exams.

We are writing to solicit applications for three course development programs for the 2026–27 academic year that are supported by the Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty (PDOF), the Upstate Institute, and the Max A. Shacknai Center for Outreach, Volunteerism, and Education (COVE), respectively.

Information on this year’s self-report process. Self-reports ask you to identify noteworthy aspects of your teaching, scholarship, and service during the most recent academic year).

I write to offer you updates about Ģ����Ƶ’s Institutes for Advanced Study: the Lampert Institute for Civic and Global Affairs, the Picker Interdisciplinary Science Institute, the Upstate Institute, and their counterpart, the Center for Freedom and Western Civilization.

I am writing to invite you to apply to teach in the Sophomore Residential Seminars (SRS) program for the 2026–27 academic year.

The rhythm of the academic year provides us with a number of opportunities to come together as a full faculty. In the fall semester, we gather on the first Monday of every month for faculty meetings; in the spring, we shift to the last Monday of the month. We also gather socially at events called “tunks.”

Ģ����Ƶ continues to support faculty involvement in conference participation and/or attendance. Eligible faculty (described below) are given an allotment of up to $2,250 per year to attend or present at professional meetings.

As you finalize your syllabi for the fall of 2025, we write with some information relevant to your teaching this coming term.

Founders’ Day Convocation is one of the most meaningful gatherings of Ģ����Ƶ’s academic year. A symbolically significant ceremony, convocation marks the start of a new academic year by convening many members of our community to reflect on our origins and imagine our future.
