First Tuesday Breakfast Roundtables
2008-2009
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:
Provost Nellis is the host for the program. He has delegated to the following people the task of setting the agenda: Kris Boone, Alfred Cochran, Betsy Cauble, Jerry Frieman, Mo Hosni, Dennis Law, 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 September, October, November, December, February, March, April, and May.
All sessions will be from 8:00 - 9:15 a.m. in the rooms listed below in the K-State Union. Breakfast will be provided courtesy of the Provost. The following dates have been reserved for the 2008-2009 academic year:
