The campus is continuing to听determine听committee members who will lead the听CU 麻豆官网 History Project听with input from faculty and campus community members. The project will solicit further input on committee representation, community involvement and the development of its editorial process during a faculty panel discussion and input session at the听spring听Diversity and Inclusion Summit听taking place听on听Feb. 25 at the听University Memorial Center (UMC).
Based on the听nominations and community input received, the history project will announce its committee听membership听and begin to establish an editorial process for soliciting and choosing stories later this spring.
Invitations听for students, faculty and staff who will sit on the听 are being delivered this week, and the committee鈥檚 membership will be announced in the coming weeks.听Last week, Chancellor Philip DiStefano named Ann Schmiesing, executive vice provost for academic resource management, as the executive sponsor of the Art in Public Space听committee, whose members will, among other charges, advise the chancellor on public art matters and forge a new听process听for the submission and review of public art projects.听
鈥淎nn is a trusted university leader with a proven track record of working collaboratively across many academic and administrative units on campus to effect positive change, always keeping the best interests of our students, faculty and staff top of mind,鈥� DiStefano said. 鈥淚 am confident she and the听committee听will lead this charge to the maximum benefit of our campus.鈥�
