Casey Bickle, Mary Ann Stopha and Kirk Anne spent the summer putting together a terrific new College Senate web site (http://www.geneseo.edu/~senate/). Casey would like to extend her MANY thanks to Mary Ann, Kirk and their students for all of their efforts. The page looks great!

College Senate Membership Changes

To fill openings that occurred during the summer, the past procedure of inviting the person with the next highest number of votes in the election in which the position was originally filled was followed. The following have agreed to be nominated:

Steve Kirsh (Psychology) will replace Tze-Ki Hon (History) as Senator-at-Large under six years for the Fall 2002 semester.

Terry Browne (SOPA) will replace Ted Everett (Philosophy) as a member of the Nominations Committee for the remainder of his term (2002-2003).

The Senate will vote to accept these nominations at the Sept.17 meeting.
