First Tuesday Breakfast Roundtables
2009-2010
Purpose and organization:
The First Tuesday Breakfast Roundtables are a monthly forum in which academic department heads come together to discuss matters of common interest and concern. The format is meant to be casual. These sessions are for us to share ideas and experiences with our colleagues. They are not seminars or lectures.
Who is in charge of setting the agenda:
Interim Provost Dyer is the host for the program. She has delegated to the following people the task of setting the agenda: Betsy Cauble, M.M. Chengappa, Alfred Cochran, Jerry Frieman, Brad Kramer, Virginia Moxley, and Gary Pierzynski. You are encouraged to make suggestions about program topics to them.
Contact Alfred Cochran(2-4372 or cochalw@ksu.edu) if you have a subject you would like to have discussed.
When and where:
Roundtables will be held on the first Tuesday of October, November, February, March, and April.
