Minutes

Welcome
Dr. Chikwem welcomed faculty to the meeting. He hoped the meeting would be a short one since there were very few items on the agenda.

Minutes
The minutes of the January meeting were approved with minor corrections.

· Ms. Ogugua Anene-Maidoh was wrongly spelled on page 2.
· On page 1, bullet 2 should read: In response to a question from Dr. Shabazz, Dr. Nelson said he was not aware of the situation in the Math Lab.

Recruitment Video
Dr. Chikwem showed the newly developed recruitment video for the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. It was well received by faculty.

Update on New Science Building
Dr. Chikwem informed faculty that an architect has been appointed for the building design. The Building Committee will continue to work with the architects until the final building plan is developed. The design will take approximately one year and the construction, another two years. The earliest time for occupancy would be 2008. Grim and Wright Halls will not be renovated until the Science Building is completed.

Update on West Chester University
Drs. Chikwem, Swinton, Tung and Major have already seen the imaging equipment at West Chester University. Dr. Chikwem appealed to faculty to make good use of the opportunity to get trained in the use of the equipment.

Science Fair
