All Department Assessments for Fall20/Spring21 year are turned in.
Several months ahead of last year, but late on some programs
Now do Fall 21 assessments if you haven't already done so. I will put up what I've got and what's needed. Note that there are various exemptions (electives, 481 assessment bundled with 482, etc.).

enrollment is robust

official numbers come later, but CS and EMGT are healthy. MGT and IT remain precariously low. I look forward to seeing what numbers the MGT BA does.

two faculty searches (Randolph CS Education, Management)

expect to see some faculty candidates visit*

admin search

no applicants so far. Leslie has been helping. I would appreciate if requests for Leslie's time go through me and we keep them low

name limbo

we are the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, but don't expect that name to live forever

we are short a TA

one TA is teaching CSE 107 this year. Depending on how the Randolph search goes we might also be short next year.

We have a Visiting Scholar in Management.

how can the department and/or NMT better support your teaching efforts?

If you need more hourly help, e.g. with grading, let me know. What else?

how can the department and/or NMT better support your research efforts?

Free department chair proofreading. What else? We should want to increase quality as much as quantity, perhaps more so.

Cramer 221 remodel status

Got a bid, not real happy with it. Shopping for chairs.

webadmin team

Kaisa Drew and Alex DeVault will help with web and related efforts

Things that go bump in the night

FreeIPA meltdown: It appears that aspects of our compute infrastructure are broken and it may affect some courses. Sysadmins haven't been able to create new accounts for some students.
Sysadmin turnover: Jeffery might lose sleep over upcoming sysadmin graduation.
Advising: Some faculty do not always answer students' e-mails very well. I am fine with doing my share plus being the back-up advisor, but in some cases you may also need to make some adjustments.
Envisioning better usage of Cramer 227: The TA bullpen converted classroom is underutilized. Maybe partly due to covid, but partly because it has to be made habitable.
Envisioning better usage of Cramer 228: Right now it is being used as storage, and if I go to VPAA to ask for space, they will just say "Cramer 228 isn't being used"

Jun's draft, for discussion.
