Faculty Working at the Rec Senate to hear about technology By Brooke Schwartz Administration Reporter | @brookesch_wartz With a new year rolling in, Eastern’s Fac- ulty Senate has overarching themes that will continue to play an important role in meet- ings throughout the next semester. Its meeting on Tuesday will include a dis- cussion with Joshua Awalt, the interim as- sociate vice president for Information Tech- nology Services, who will update the senate on technology. This will be the Faculty Senate’s first meeting of the spring semester. It is set for 2 p.m. in room 4440 of the Booth Library. Future guests of the senate will include Stacey Ruholl, chair of the Council on Ac- ademic Affairs and a kinesiology and sports studies professor, at its Jan. 23 meeting. Music professor Danelle Larson, who is also the chair of the Council on Teacher Educa- tion, will be at the March 6 meeting. Last semester, the Faculty Senate had just started to discuss the hierarchy of the facul- ty-led organizations, such as the Council on Academic Affairs and the senate itself.
