Welcome from the FSW Faculty Senate President
The FSW Faculty Senate homepage is a central hub for resources, updates, and all things related to our work supporting faculty and elevating the FSW community. As President of the Faculty Senate, I’m excited to connect with each of you, hear your ideas, and work together to create the best environment we can at FSW. The Faculty Senate is a place for faculty members to stay informed about what’s going on in Academic and Student Affairs at the institution, and to practice Shared Governance with our college administration by suggesting necessary actions for our college community; it is also a venue to share information, advocate for faculty needs, refine policies, and generally help shape the future of FSW for faculty. This work is done at our regular meetings as well as by joining and working on one of the Senate’s Standing Academic Committees. Our regular meetings are held online via Zoom at 1:00p.m. on the first Friday of every month during the Fall and Spring semesters. All persons holding regular, full-time academic appointments in the constituent faculties of Florida SouthWestern State College are invited to attend Senate, and are automatically considered Voting Members. If you fall into this category you are already a member of the Faculty Senate, whether you knew it or not! Please feel free to reach out anytime with ideas, questions, or just to chat. You can contact me using the information below, or reach out to your campus/School representatives who serve on the Faculty Senate Executive Committee by following the link on the left side of this page. Thanks for everything you do for our students, FSW, and each other.
Best, Tim Bishop President, FSW Faculty Senate Lee Campus U-214M / tbishop1@fsw.edu / x11032
