CI Staff Council
The CI Staff Council is excited to announce that there are additional seats open to the campus community. Over the past year we have solidified our bylaws & adjusted our representation to be by campus division instead of physical location. In order to proportionally represent each division, we are looking for 11 additional staff members (non MPP/non Faculty). The number of seats per division are based on the total number of staff in the division. In order to ensure even representation, we are asking for staff nominations from the following divisions with open seats*.
Academic Affairs (3 seats)
Business & Financial Affairs (3 seats)
Student Affairs (2 seats)
Information Technology Services (1 seat)
University Advancement (2 seats)
* Office of the President does not have any open seats at this time.
Elected members will serve a two year term and, in addition to sponsoring programs, services, and events, will help to further establish a communication outlet for the Council and the staff they represent. Full details are available on the flier. (PDF, 1.7MB)
Nominations will be collected through Tuesday May 23 at 5:00 p.m. Please use the Staff Council 2017 Membership Election Nomination form, and visit our CI Staff Council website for additional information about what we do. Staff are welcome to self-nominate. An election will be held June 1-15, 2017. All nominees will be notified before the election.

Hampton wins President’s Teaching Award
Phil Hampton, Professor of Chemistry and Interim Director of STEM Initiatives, is this year's recipient of The President’s Award for Innovations in Teaching and Learning. The annual award is presented to a faculty member who has significantly contributed to the teaching mission of the University.
Three outside reviewers described Hampton as someone whose ability to transform student learning is demonstrated across his career. The educational impact of the Annual Science Carnival, begun in response to a challenge Hampton levied at the Free Radicals Student Club in 2009, has brought science to the community with CI students teaching middle-school and younger students and their parents about science through downloadable, bilingual, demonstrations. This speaks to Hampton's passion to build the educational pipeline in the STEM disciplines.
A former student, now Assistant Professor in Chemistry at Reed College, notes that Hampton changed his career horizons by involving him in research as an undergraduate student. Hampton credits the late Robert Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," which he read in high school, in framing his own understanding of how he hoped to help students find inner, not grade-driven, motivation.
