Note From the Dean

Categories: Updates

Dear Colleagues,

I want to thank all of you for your resilience, your professionalism, your patience, and your good humor in this very, very difficult time. I know, from your chairs, that you have made the necessary changes to the delivery of your courses, many of you for the very first time. Your focus on the students is, of course, why working in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences is so gratifying.

Please do not hesitate to be in contact with your colleagues and chairs about any questions or concerns you might have.  If your chairs do not know how to respond to your question, they know to consult the Dean’s Office and we will work to have an answer for you as quickly as we can.

In this time of crisis and concern, your first priority must be your own health and the health of your loved ones. Please take care of yourselves and take all necessary precautions to be safe.

The CTL continues to add multiple daily workshops to our calendar to support faculty who are moving to remote instruction. Workshops are still available. See the full document here.

These workshops will focus on using WebEx to deliver synchronous instruction and using Canvas for asynchronous instruction and communication with students. The workshops are 30-minutes in length and delivered via WebEx. See the CTL calendar for a schedule and to register. Additional resources for faculty can be found on the CTL Keep Teaching page.

Upcoming Events

Categories: Updates

The health and safety of students, faculty, staff and community friends remains UNC Charlotte and the College of LIberal Arts & Sciences’ top priority. The University has been monitoring the rapidly evolving situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) and has been working in close collaboration with local and state resources.

After careful thought and consideration, many of the departments and programs within the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences have decided to cancel the events previously announced for March and early April. This was not an easy decision, but a necessary one in protecting the health and well-being of our campus community. 

If those events are rescheduled, they will be listed in future Dean’s Digests and on Campus Events.

Mar – MayAs the situation rapidly evolves, the Botanical Gardens’ leadership is working thoughtfully with University administration to determine next steps with regard to events and gatherings at the Gardens. In-person events may be modified to an online format if necessary. WATCH WEBSITE FOR UPDATES.
