Faculty Meeting 10-03-07

Sorry this is a little late, but here are some notes from October's Faculty meeting:

• The Lambeth Lecture with Prof. Joel Fleishman was announced and plans for publicizing the event were discussed. Note: The lecture was on Oct 11, 2007. It went really well, and we had a full house!
  
• PPMU told the faculty about our upcoming Career Panel in January/February and asked for their advice on choosing panelists. The faculty are really excited about the Career Panel and they had a lot of suggestions for potential contacts.
  
• Dr. Andrews asked for suggestions for the Public Policy Dept. Commencement speaker (Spring 2008) and next year's Lambeth Lecturer (Fall 2008).
  
• For those of you that are double majors, it's really helpful if you list Public Policy as your first major. When the department is undergoing review or asking for more resources (funding, lecture positions, etc), statistics such as number of majors are looked at, and if Public Policy is listed as your second major, you won't be counted. If you're really serious about Public Policy, please help out your department by going to Academic Advising and changing Public Policy to your first major. The order does matter.
