TWO PROFESSIONAL
ATHLETES ON CAMPUS TO
DISCUSS ISSUES AFFECTING
DISABLED |
The Fullerton
College Campus
Diversity
Committee, in
conjunction with
NOCCCD Staff
Development, is
again sponsoring
a presentation
by former
professional
surfer Jesse
Billauer. The
presentation,
entitled
Overcoming
Adversity,
will take place
next Wednesday,
April 30 at 12
noon in the
Campus Theatre.
Billauer
suffered a
spinal cord
injury in his

realize that
there is more to
life than most
people believe.

presentation,

be a
training led
by Tara
Llanes, a
former
professional
athlete who
also
suffered a

FACULTY FLEX CONTRACT
FORMS DUE NO LATER THAN
NEXT FRIDAY |
|
Last week, all full-time
faculty should have
received a copy of the
Faculty Flex Contract
2007 in their campus
mailbox. The document
outlines the policies
involved regarding flex
credit and includes a
form due no later
than Friday, May 9.
The purpose of the
flexible calendar is to
provide time for faculty
to participate in
development activities
that are related to
"staff, student, and
instructional
improvement." Since the
flexible calendar
program removes time
from the instructional
program, it is a
reasonable expectation
that use of this time
should foster
instructional
improvement.
If you have any
questions about
specific activities
and whether they
qualify for FLEX
credit, please
contact Interim
Staff Development
Coordinator, Brandon
Floerke. Extension
27036 or bfloerke@fullcoll.edu
