<span style="font-size: 16px;">The First Year Experience issue will be on the agenda for discussion at next week’s meeting of the Academic Senate on Wednesday, December 2nd. The meeting will be held, as per usual, at 4:00 PM in the DeBartolo Hall auditorium.</span></div>

<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">The proposal comes from the General Education Committee. I am asking that all of you please come to the Senate meeting prepared for a discussion by reviewing the attached document as well
as the supporting material. This will be an important discussion since adoption of such a course bears directly upon the general education curriculum and may have other impacts as well.</span></font></div>
