FACULTY/STAFF LOUNGE (VC 14-290)
PHOTOS AND ASSESSMENT

We hope that all members of our faculty and staff know about the
Faculty/Staff Lounge in 14-290 of the Vertical Campus.*  In operation
now for more than a year, the Lounge is regularly visited by more
than 100 people a day during the academic year.

If you haven't visited recently, you haven't seen the display of beautiful
11x14 photos of new members of our full-time faculty. Names and
departments will be added very soon. The photographer is Jerry Speier.

Your filling out the questionnaire below will help the administration
assess the facility and how it has been operated. Please respond
online by sending your completed questionnaire to
[log in to unmask]
or by printing out the questionnaire and sending it to
Marilyn Gaffney at Box D-710.
