Greetings, Colleagues!

Welcome back!

What can we say? If you are reading this, at least take the opportunity to have it remind you to relax your shoulders and unclench your jaw.

Dear Member,

The FSU International Faculty Caucus is meeting on Friday January 31, 10-11 am on Zoom to discuss concerns and raise questions related to immigration enforcement procedures anticipated on higher education campuses. We are open to all questions and concerns but this meeting is particularly focused on implications of this policy for international students, faculty and staff who are visa holders.

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

Welcome to the spring semester.  Hard to say spring as we just experienced below average temperatures the past four weeks.  The positive is that mid-January is traditionally the coldest time of the year so we can only go up.

This week’s Point was written by Jared Poole, Assistant Professor of Management in the College of Management.

In my end-of-semester conversations with my students in MGT 330: Business Environments and Public Policy, they consistently raise a handful of topics that were most impactful for them. One of those topics is unions.
