So as expected, I ended up at the Advisory Board meeting. Interestingly
enough, I met, or at least was introduced to one of our faculty’s parents.
Its an interesting and admirable collection of people.
Dr. Davis’ speech is quite similar to the one he gives to the faculty &
staff at the beginning of each semester.
Ray sounds like he’s from the Northeast.
Choclear implants are apparently a huge pain in the ass. Moreso than a
normal hearing aid. At least for the other people around the user.
Kelly so takes after her mother.
Apparently the Dean’s search report was a unanimous decision and has been
submitted to the Provost. He has apparently recieved it. (muted chuckle)
The topic of collaboration continues to be a loud topic. The provost is a
very eloquent and entertaining speaker.
A new UNT art gallery in the Metroplex, very interesting. It will focus
entirely on UNT & SoVA artwork. It will even be located as a part of the
Dallas Art Community, right across from the Kimball.
Well, that would explain it, SoVA is 2/3 female, 1/3 male.
The SoVA space issue is apparently still active and alive in the president’s
agenda. Thats actually a relief to hear.
Some of the new boardmembers have a very “pie-in-the-sky” spunkiness that is
refreshing and yet somehow redundant (asking questions to issues that have
already been resolved).
The University Master Plan is apparently online. I’ll have to look into
that, it sounds interesting.
I’ve been here 2 hours already and have just now been needed. Sheesh. Now I
wonder how long I will be here.
