Summer Updates

New President

You may have read the recent Tampa Tribune article on our new president, Dr. Ken Atwater. http://www2.tbo.com/content/2010/may/28/community-college-put-hcc-president-right-course/.

The print version deleted a few important points which are included in this online version. The statement that he "won me over" with a firm handshake and direct gaze is Lindsay Peterson's conclusion not mine - obviously we are waiting to see the new president in action before we are "won over"!

UFF-FUSA Membership

It goes without saying - but I'll say it anyway - nothing will impress our new president more than being greeted by a faculty union with 90% membership (our goal) of faculty who are organized, informed and ready to help him and HCC overcome our present challenges while we take on the future ones... all while serving in our role as a constant reminder of the "business" we are really in... that of Teaching and Learning! Please help us recruit new members!!

To New members:
Three for Free! By joining now you will immediately receive the privileges of membership and not have to begin payroll deduction until early September. http://www.fusahcc.org/resources.html or contact Dr. Peter Germroth for more information.
