NOMINATING COMMITTEE FOR FACULTY OFFICERS REPORT
ELECTION OF FACULTY OFFICERS
Candidates for Chair of the Faculty
Constantine (Connie) Ciesielski,
College of Technology and Computer Science
I came to ECU in 1993 (14 years ago) after working 20 years
in the construction industry. Since
joining the faculty of East Carolina University, I have served six years on the
Faculty Senate as well as on other university committees including the Vice
Chancellor’s Collaborative Team on Regional Accreditation and Institutional
Effectiveness. In addition to these and
several college/departmental committees, I have held significant management
positions in industry, including being a past Vice President of URS
Corporation, currently the largest Engineering Design firm in the United
States. My industrial and academic
experiences have provided me with a broad perspective of issues facing management and governance of
multifaceted organizations. My
organizational skills are demonstrated by my organization of three major
international conferences addressing technology in construction.
I would like to be Chair of the Faculty Senate for several
reasons: I have the interest, skills, and experience on the Senate needed to
effectively represent the senate to the administration, and to meet the
challenges of attaining the faculty priorities as identified in Ken Wilson’s
2006 study. These priorities included
competitive salaries, better health care, child care facilities, appropriate
workloads, and off campus scholarly leaves.
I will also work with the administration to achieve the goals of its
five year Strategic Plan as identified in Chancellor Ballard’s March 07, 2007
Memo. These goals include increasing
access to higher education for all students, leadership training for students,
building the economy of the east, health care innovation, establishing a
Performing Arts Center and more.
I am honored to have served as your Chair of the Faculty for
the past year. We’ve accomplished much together, including revisions to Parts
XII and XIII of the Faculty Manual, implementation of the revised Appendix D,
and the recommendation of a new plus/minus grading system.
Faculty were the First Responders to question some of the recommendations for
our doctoral and graduate programs found in the draft Yardley Report, forming a
task force that reported our concerns over the inaccuracies of the data
collected and methodology employed in assessing that data.
This past Fall, with Academic Affairs, we held a workshop on
personnel policies and, with the Committee on the Status of Women, a PAD
workshop was held. Both were well
received. I have facilitated communication between faculty and administration
on matters such as childcare, smoking,
and use of our greenspace.
Our work continues.
We need to encourage our units to revise their unit codes, incorporating
the changes of our personnel policies. We need to revise the procedures for
evaluating administrators. We need to
continue to examine the use of fixed-term faculty throughout our
university. We need to assure that
interdisciplinary faculty are evaluated fairly when they seek promotion and
tenure.
ECU has gone through many changes since I first joined the
faculty in 1985. The one constant
element has been our strong tradition of shared governance, which will help us
meet the challenges of the future. I look forward to working with each of you
to meet our goals for next year.
Candidate
for Vice Chair of the Faculty
Mary (Dee Dee) Glascoff, College of
Health and Human Performance
I currently serve
as the Vice Chair of the East Carolina University’s Faculty Senate and I humbly
request your support to continue in that role for another year.
Under the principles of shared governance, ECU faculty members have a voice in
the operation of the university. The Faculty Senate provides a means to
both have that voice heard and to listen to the voices of our
administrators. An environment of effective shared governance demands shared
responsibility, shared confidence, shared respect, and shared
understanding. The process is not always easy. If re-elected to the
position of Vice Chair I not only will continue to speak with, speak up and
speak out for the faculty and the university but also to listen in an effort to
continue a level of excellence of shared governance for which our university is
noted.
Candidates for Secretary of the Faculty
I am a
faculty member with thirty-seven years of service at East Carolina. I served
two terms as Secretary of the University of North Carolina Faculty Assembly. My
ECU
I believe
that East Carolina faces a number of current challenges. Increasing diversity among faculty and
equalizing salaries of female faculty has been a goal of mine for the past
thirty-seven years at East Carolina. I believe that it is time to take another
look a campus parking, especially with regard to reducing the carbon footprint
of the university in the community. We also need to find a way to add new
schools and college, but at the same time remain supportive of existing
programs.
I hope as
secretary to add a voice to the mix as we debate these and other issues in the
Senate. I thank you for your support.
Marianna Walker, School of Allied
Health Sciences
As a
tenured associate professor (Communication Sciences and Disorders), it is my
responsibility, right, and privilege to be involved with faculty governance.
Presently, I am serving as a faculty senator (Allied Health Sciences), faculty
marshal, and Chair of the Libraries Committee, a position I have held for the
past three years. Recently, I served on the Search Committee for the Director
of Joyner Library. Previously, I served
as a Faculty Senator Alternate for three terms, Vice-Chair of the Libraries
Committee, and Secretary of the Honors Committee. I was recognized as an ECU
Scholar-Teacher in 2004. School service (AHS) includes chairing the Research
Committee, serving on the Faculty Council, and organizing Research Day and a
multicultural event in 2005. Current professional service includes an
appointment on the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Speech and Language
Pathologists and Audiologists.
As a
professor and scientist, I have crossed boundaries and have collaborated with
many different faculty in various departments and divisions, including
Psychology, Education, Audiology, Psychology, Psychiatry, Neuroscience,
Clinical Laboratory Science and the Honors Program. Through these academic
endeavors, I have been involved in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate
levels, including medical residency training.
When
considering my candidacy as the Secretary of the Faculty, I feel that I could
provide diverse perspectives as a faculty officer considering my broad
experiences as a teacher, researcher, and faculty member who believes in the
responsibility of faculty governance. I would welcome the chance and
responsibility of representing all faculty members in this process.
