The To-Do List, 2013-14 • Budget Stability(we hope) w/salary increase in January. • Computer Science chair and 12-15 faculty searches. • Assessment Activities: • 8 University Learning Goals: Disciplinary Knowledge, Global Literacy & Knowledge of Human Cultures, Communications, Critical & Creative Thinking, Information Literacy, Technology,  Values & Civic Engagement. • Reviews in 2013-14: Communications + 1 more. • John Jaszczak, new Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, key contact for this effort.

  13. Strategic Priorities, 2013-14 • CSA Strategic Priorities: Department-level updates; • Insuring the success and retention of CSA faculty, especially those hired over the past 6 years; • Expansion of graduate programs, with focus on creation & implementation of course-work & accelerated (4+1) MS programs where appropriate; • Diversity: Recruitment of faculty & students; Spousal Opportunities; Training required for ALL members of Search committees and PT&R committees. • Unit-level Targets: Health Programs (DPT and Health-related research Center development); Statistics; GIS; Continue inter-department review of computing & information science and engineering teaching and research.

  14. CSA Department Accomplishments! • Visual & Performing Arts: Stealing Fire – flying technology, original music & sound with original choreography. • Social Sciences: Faculty success in grad. education, research and funding in EP, especially new hires (Norman, Winkler, Wellstead, Rouleau). • Physics: Will Cantrell recipient of Michigan Distinguished Teaching Award; Claudio Mazzoleni’sresearchgroup publication in Nature Communications (7/2013): wildfire smoke & climate change. • Math: NSF-funded MAA study, combined with improvements in success rates in Calculus II signal the department is strengthening foundational teaching while continuing to improve undergraduate degree programs and graduate education.

  15. CSA Department Accomplishments! • Kinesiology & Integrative Physiology: emerging Doctor of Physical Therapy program with ATDC renovations to start in January. • Humanities: six books published within two years and 2 more on the way in 2013-14; hosted 40th Annual Meeting of the Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication (CPTSC). • CLS: Two NSF CAREER winners - Edward Cokelyin 2013, and year Shari Stockeroin 2012; also first firstPh.D. student in Applied Cognitive Science & Human Factors graduated in May • Chemistry: Paul Charlesworthrecipient of the 2013 Faculty Distinguished Service award; Sarah Green spending 2013-14 as prestigious State Department Jefferson Fellow.

  16. CSA Department Accomplishments! • Biological Sciences: Charles Kerfootrecipient of 2013 Research Award; Thomas Werner recipient of 2013 assistant professor teaching award. • Army ROTC: Marybeth Spoehr and 8 other cadets attended a Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) at Fort Lewis, Washington, and Cadet Spoehr finished in the top 5 percentile of 6,000 cadets nationwide. • Air Force ROTC: Team of the quarter (April-June 2013); Right of Line” award for top detachment in North West Region and competing for recognition as best detachment in the country. • Computer Science: NiluferOnderrecipient of 2013 Distinguished Teaching Award.
