I have been serving as Assembly Representative for this committee since 2013. The last two elected terms, I have also served as secretary within the committee. Throughout that time, I have reviewed several proposals on class-size changes. Like all members of the committee, I have always reviewed each proposal with a magnifying glass, making sure that each recommendation is made based on clear evidence of need for a change. Please consider my name for renewal in this position.
The Class Size Committee shall be charged with the responsibility of reviewing and recommending proposed modifications (if and when necessary) to the class size maximums (as posted on the College Governance web site) to determine the maximum class size for all credit courses (or courses which are prerequisites for credit courses). Its recommendations shall be forwarded to the President and Vice President for Academic Affairs as described in the Faculty Association Contract.

I have been utilizing OER materials in since Fall of 2017 and since then have continued to expand my use of OER materials into several of my courses. In Spring 2018, I collaborated with several colleagues to host an OER conference for Math and Science faculty. During that conference, I also held a workshop for Lumen OHM to help math faculty set up their courses to use this online HW tool and integrate their courses into Blackboard. Cost of materials is a great struggle for our students. I would like to play any part in finding effective OER materials and making fellow faculty aware of how to use them in their courses.
This committee is responsible for making recommendations for OER policy, initiatives, events and training. It also reviews OER creation incentive requests and recommends any necessary changes to that process.

A representative of the Assembly is expected to:
I have served as Secretary of the Assembly since 2018. During this time, I have learned so much about the position and our governance system as well. I have also served on the Technology Committee since 2015 and have been elected to serve as one of the co-chairs since 2016. During the past year, we have all had to become more flexible and navigate unchartered waters. The same can be said for our students.
Commencement should be a time of celebration and recognition of the accomplishments of our students. I would like to be a part of the discussion with regard to Commencement and bring a fresh perspective to the committee. I hope to have your support for my nomination of Assembly Representative on the Commencement Committee. Thank you.
