Thanks Wendy,

I now know why I can't log in.

I look forward to reading about the highlights.

Apparently we needed to register by January 25 in order to receive the invite. Granted I'm on leave and may have missed the memo, but it would be nice for faculty who can attend this zoom town hall today to be able to do so.

"A calendar invite will be sent to those who register before Wednesday, January 25.

All registrants will receive the Zoom link on the morning of the event."

Subject: FYI: there's a town hall today

Dear colleagues

as you may know, there's a towm hall today for Faculty and Staff, hosted by the SFU President, to chat about priorities and budgets.

(Wed., Jan. 31, 2024 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM PST).

I hope many of us can attend this. We, as faculty, have both the duty and the right to participate in the governance of the university, and to be part of discussions around it.

The issues that may arise will be reflective of who is there. We likely won't agree with each other on what university priorities ought to be, and that's a good thing. Herds of cats are vastly more interesting to me than herds of lemmings. But even cats need to show up at the watering hole.
