Subject: 2012 University Senate Governance Retreat Information

 

Dear Senate Retreat Participants,

With the retreat less than a week away it’s time finalize some logistical details (see below).

I have attached materials that will be used at the retreat. You will also be provided with a printed copy of these materials when you board the bus (or at Callaway, for those of you driving).

The attachments include:

- 2012 Senate Retreat Materials

- 2012 Senate Retreat Directions and Maps

- 2011-2012 Standing Committee Annual Reports (APC, CAPC, FAPC, RPIPC, SAPC – You only need the one relevant to your current committee assignment.)

If possible, please take the time to review these materials prior to the sessions on Wednesday.

 

The bus will be departing from Callaway immediately after the meeting on Wednesday as only three people indicated that they wanted to stay longer to spend time in the Gardens. However, keep in mind that some people will be driving to the retreat and you may be able to convince them to stay a little longer to explore with you.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Catherine

Retreat materials will be distributed on the bus. If you are driving to the retreat you can collect your retreat materials from 5:45pm at the Retreat check-in table located in the lobby of the Inn.

NOTE: Everyone must check out individually.

Please check out after breakfast before heading up to the conference rooms for the first session. The bus will be available for you to load your luggage from 7:45am.

EXPLORING THE GARDENS:

Your room card acts as your pass for access to the Gardens.

The bus will be departing immediately after the meeting as only three people indicated that they wanted to stay longer to spend time in the Gardens. However, keep in mind that several people will be driving to the retreat and you may be able to convince them to stay a little longer to explore with you.
