Faculty hosting Sept. 13 reception for Subbaswamy

Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy will offer opening remarks at the first Faculty Senate meeting of the year on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 3:30 p.m. in 227 Herter.

Following the meeting, the Faculty Senate is sponsoring a reception in the Fine Arts Center atrium for the chancellor to greet faculty and librarians.

"Chancellor Swamy brings us a rare combination of high intelligence and aspirations, a wealth of relevant experience in academia and higher education administration, realistic grounding, and a wonderful sense of humor," said senate secretary Ernest May. "Whether you are a senator or not, please plan to attend and give Chancellor Swamy a warm welcome to Amherst."
