Faculty Service
Participation in Workshop on Gubernatorial Debate
http://www.csus.edu/calst/Publications/newsletters/CalifornianaFall2003.pdf
The third workshop provided expert
briefs on the issues raised in the debate questions,
released to the candidates prior to the debate. Panelists
included CSUS faculty Ming-Tung “Mike”
Lee, Beth Mann, Stan Oden, Suzanne O’Keefe,
Steve Perez, Rosemary Papalewis, and Robert
Wassmer, as well as John Miller of the State Senate
Offi ce of Research and Matt Newman, Director,
California Institute for County Government.
The workshops were attended by students, journalists,
voters and the occasional political hack and
jaded columnist, all of whom appeared to take away
a better understanding of the recall and the debate.
As Gerontology Core faculty members are part time, they are not evaluated on their service to the university and community but their activities are noted in informal discussions and seen in changes in their course content. Their service work is however, considered in the part time hire process as part of their ability to teach the course(s) for which they are hired. The Vitas of Interdisciplinary Core faculty members are periodically reviewed when the department hires a new individual or at the time of Program Review.
All Gerontology Core and Interdisciplinary Core faculty members are involved to varying degrees in the University and community. This is reflected on their vitas (available upon request). Many serve on advisory boards, lecture for professional a community groups, and consult in their fields of expertise.
