 Faculty Executive (2016-17)
Served in this capacity in the 2016-2017 AY subsequent to a request from
Dr. Caroline Solomon
My role was to provide input on key issues that arose during the academic

 Bilingual Task Force (2017-)
I was asked to serve on this committee by Dr. Carol Erting

Addressed a # of faculty grievances that were presented to the committee

 ASL Task Force (2016)
Invited to participate in the ASL Task Force, presided over by Dr. M.J. Bienvenue
Many lively discussions concerning the history of the ASLPI, ASL-DES as well as the
philosophy that would drive future initiatives
I and some others suggested evidence-based questions that should be addressed before
establishing a new policy, - such as:
How long does it take to acquire ASLPI Target Level-3, when commence at level 0, and
does it vary by department?
What types of supports are needed to assist faculty toward moving to a targeted goal?
Should there be one uniform target level or should they differ based on students needs for
that department?
