Convocation/New Employees

Faculty and Staff Convocation will be happening from 11:30-1 in the CRC tomorrow (9/15).  Since new employees (anyone hired since the last convocation) will be getting introduced to the college community at this event, I thought you’d like to have a little information about the new employees in FAD.
