Plenary Sessions

The Academic Senate holds two plenary sessions each year. These plenary sessions are held alternately in the North and South, on Thursday-Saturday in fall and spring. The general and breakout sessions permit local senates–their officers (who often also serve as their senate's official delegate), curriculum chairs, and other interested faculty–to be apprised about hot topics, to receive new training to bolster the effectiveness of their senate, to select representatives and officers, and to determine Senate positions and provide the Executive Committee its direction through the resolution and voting processes.
