Provost and Dean of the Faculty Announcements

Course warning rosters are now available for faculty review and action.

It was a delight to see so many of you at the first tunk and the faculty meeting last week. I hope both provided you a chance to catch up with familiar colleagues and meet some new ones.

We hope that your classes are going smoothly. We write to bring to your attention —especially if you are new to Colgate — to two institutional resources that might be of interest as you plan your teaching and/or research for this academic year.

The Office of Off-Campus Study invites faculty to submit all proposals to direct an Extended Study Group for either the fall semester (with a January 2026 extended study) or the spring semester (with a May 2026 extended study).

Your online load reports are available for approval as of today, Wednesday, Sept. 11.

I write to provide you with information on this year’s self-report process.

I am writing to invite you to apply to teach in the Sophomore Residential Seminars (SRS) program for the 2025–26 academic year.

The Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty will be sponsoring Faculty Research Retreats for the 2024–25 academic year.

All research that involves human participation is subject to oversight by the University's Institutional Review Board (IRB).

The Office of the Dean of the College and the Office of the Provost and Dean of the Faculty encourage you to continue conversations with students outside the classroom. We have set aside funding to support several opportunities for student-faculty interaction during the semester.
