Opening Day Division Meeting

I. Welcome!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 Academic year in Fine Arts & Communication. This will be another year of change, and some of these changes are very good!

First, it's my pleasure to announce that our new VP is VP of Instruction Kimberlee Messina. Kimberlee comes to us from Santa Rosa JC, where she was Dean of Instruction, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). For a time, she was the Dean of Art, Humanities, Behavioral Sciences, Music & Theater Arts so she knows our area fairly well! Welcome, Kimberlee :-)

Next, as part of our campuswide reorganization, please welcome the CAST, COIN, and LINC departments into our Division. I'm very happy to welcome them, and I'm sure you are as well. These additions give us a great opportunity to rethink our course offerings and retool if necessary.
