Old Business

1. Faculty Development Newsletter - Jerry passed around a draft of the Fall Faculty Development Newsletter. He stated he has one more faculty bio left and the Newsletter will be ready to be distributed. He will post it on the Faculty Development Website and let faculty know. He will also make limited copies to circulate via the Faculty Development Routing slips and send a hard copy to all new faculty members.

2. State Poultry Processors Chicken Sales - Jerry announced there was a chicken sale on September 27 and another one upcoming on October 11. He anticipated receiving one check from the State Poultry Processors owner for both sales. He will let the committee members know the amount of the check when it is received. Ken Kato allows one chicken sales event per quarter. These two are close together, however September and October are in different quarters so Ken allowed both sales events.

3. Entertainment Book Sales - Guy and Jessica turned in checks for books sold. Jerry suggested the committee donate two books to Guy for door prizes at the HCC Christmas Party. All members agreed. Jerry stated the committee was given 12 free books this year so there are more to sell then the usual 40 books. He will check his files from past years sales and let committee members know the names of colleagues who have purchased books in the past and have not yet purchased this year. Guy announced the HCC Christmas Party will be held on Wednesday, December 16. He stated several of our younger colleagues requested to have dancing following the party.

1. Fall Activities - Jerry stated there are two Best Practices using Laulima Workshop coming up; one tomorrow at 2:30 pm in 2-514 and the second on the next day, Friday at 11:00 am in 2-514. Next week Friday there will be a Pine Anonymous Workshop for interested attendees at 11:00 am in 2-505. Ralph was surprised to know that SSH can be set up so Pine/Alpine can be used to read emails in our @hawaii.edu accounts. Jerry announced he will schedule a mini Great Teachers Seminar soon and ask attendees to bring a teaching innovation or teaching challenge to share at the Seminar. Carol stated she wants to offer a Library Resource Workshop to faculty and staff, probably later in November. She will let Jerry know when and he will help pass the word. Jerry also asked all members to keep asking their colleagues for workshop ideas.

2. Fall Faculty Professional Development Fund Application - Jerry passed around the updated Professional Development Fund Application. It is posted in the Grants Section of the Faculty Development Website. It was decided that October 30 will be the deadline for submission for the fall. Jerry will send an email to all faculty tomorrow announcing this deadline. Fall monitory awards will be decided at the November committee meeting. If any major travel award requests are received they will be deferred and awarded in the spring. Money will be withheld in the spring for two faculty to attend the Hawaii Great Teachers Seminar on the Big Island next summer.

3. Wo Application for January 2010 - May 2011 - Jerry reminded the members that the current Wo Learning Champions, Kyle Higa and Shanon Miho, have recently sent out an email with an announcement for the application procedure for the next generation of Wo Learning Champions. Jerry encouraged all committee members to consider applying. Serving on the Faculty Development Committee would strengthen the application. Jerry started he was a 2nd Generation Wo Learning Champion and the highlight was receiving $2000 in personal professional development funds to attend a Mainland conference/activity.

4. WILD - March 5, 2010 - Jerry announced that Monday, March 5, 2010, will be a Wo Innovation in Learning Day (WILD). The new Wo's will be in charge of planning the activities of the day, however Kyle and Shanon did not have a WILD during the period of their being Wo's so will also be leaders in planning the day. Jerry stated the Faculty Development Committee would assist. He will invite Kyle and Shanon to attend the November committee meeting to begin the discussions on this day.

1. Guy stated that he has talked to Brian Furuto and still has plans to organize a major Memorial Fund event to raise money for an endowment for scholarships in memory of several of our colleagues who have passed away in the last few years. He also announced there is a Great Aloha Run planning meeting tomorrow, 2:00 pm in the Apprenticeship Conference Room. In addition, Construction Career Days will take place on October 21-22. The gravel parking lot will be closed the whole week for set-up and two shuttles will run from Lot 8 and Lot 3. The Mayor may come to kick off the day.

2. Ralph stated he has volunteered to take the lead in the 90th Anniversary celebration of HCC. Although the actual date is in February, he foresees activities throughout the spring semester. He will need help to plan the activities. He envisions an 1920's theme with automobiles from the decade and a fashion show with fashions from the era. The Carpentry program may perform a Habitat for Humanity project. Ralph suggested that the WILD day be part of the anniversary celebration. Jerry asked about the Oral History Project. Ralph said it is coming along and should be done for the spring celebration.

3. Ralph announced that Jonathan Wong has received money to purchase licenses for e-Luminate, a synchronous web-based meeting software. The system would allow instructors and students to meet, via their computers, at a predetermined time. He believes that e-Luminate trainers should come and deliver training on the system to increase interest and knowledge among the faculty.

4. The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 4 at 2:30 pm in a location TBA.
