Dear Staff:

Welcome to the start of the new academic year!   Staff
Council would like to invite you to our first open meeting of the fall on Thursday,
September 12th at 1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT
. Please join in person in
Bicentennial Hall Room 216 or remotely by zoom at https://middlebury.zoom.us/my/staffcouncil

The priority of the meeting is to hear from you! We’d like to hear
your questions, concerns, ideas, and comments.  To start this
conversation, we hope you participate in a Staff Council questionnaire (not
required to attend
):   http://go.middlebury.edu/msc19-input

  • Name
    – Optional
  • As a
    staff member, what is most important to you now?
  • What
    do you value in your work and in Middlebury?
  • What
    would you/your department be doing if you were 20% bolder?
  • What
    have been the high points/bright spots for you that you would want others to
    know about?
  • What
    have been the low points/challenges for you that you would want others to know
    about?
  • Anything
    else you would like to share?

At our Thursday meeting, the
floor will be open to you and we’ll discuss the questionnaire findings. We’ll
introduce you to our recently appointed members: Ginnie Bukowski – District
L  and Grace O’Dell – District M (non-voting position) from MIIS, as well
as the rest of Staff Council.   

Lastly, going forward, we’d
like to invite you to meet with us on a monthly basis. We’ll be opening the
floor for your comments, questions, and concerns at the start of each of our
monthly meetings: the first Thursday of every month,  from 1:00-1:15 PM in
Davis Lib Room 145 or zoom at https://middlebury.zoom.us/my/staffcouncil

We look forward to working with
you this year,
