We too have a travel freeze but I don't mind driving over to NUSLA
on my own if the group decides to meet F2F. Zoom seems to be a less
risky option though.<br>

Best,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Thanks for
taking the lead on this! As we are a relatively small group
and given that all are campuses are open, albeit with
restrictions, I feel we should meet in person. We could
always provide the option of virtual attendance for those
wish to do so. This is what we already do for our students
in many cases this semester.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In terms of
dates, having a virtual option in addition to F2F
proceedings will also allow us to stick to our normal
schedule of starting Thursday afternoon and ending by Friday
noon. The person who cannot make it on Thursday afternoon
may be able to attend part of it virtually. The sessions
could also be recorded and available for review later.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I invite
everyone to share your thoughts on the matter so that we can
finalize the dates and format. I also urge you to start
thinking about particular topics you would like to discuss.
Previous agendae and documents should be available in the
dropbox.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings, all-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to everyone for completing the
doodle poll. We are all available on Friday, October 30, and
all but one are also available on Thursday, October 29. The
largest question is whether we want/can/are comfortable
meeting face to face, or if we’d rather meet virtually. If we
go with the virtual option, I am fairly certain Northwestern
can host, but I will need to verify procedures and protocols
with our IT Department.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If we would like to meet face to face, and
everyone is allowed to travel to Natchitoches, I know we have
the space to gather within physical distancing protocols.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wishing you all a relaxing evening.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning, all-<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is our first day of classes here, and so
far, so good. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m including a link to a Doodle poll to
determine when might be the best time for us to meet (all
Thursday/Friday dates in October); we can decide later whether
this will be face to face or virtually. The poll is here:

can look at other combinations. Those two days have worked
well previously. <o:p></o:p></p>
