Academic Regalia

All full-time faculty members are expected to attend commencement and convocation during first year student orientation unless specifically excused by the appropriate Vice President. Academic caps and gowns are required for faculty members who participate in these events and convocation. Faculty members may buy or rent regalia at their own expense by contacting the Bookstore.

Offices and Equipment

All full-time faculty members are assigned an office, usually, but not always, a private office. These offices are equipped with a computer, telephone, desk and book and records storage space. The appropriate Vice President makes office assignments. All items in the office initially remain the property of the College. Faculty members may add their own pictures, additional furniture, lamps but any alterations to the room (built-in furniture, drapes, numerous pictures, etc.) or microwave ovens or refrigerators should only be undertaken after consultation with the Director of the Physical Plant. Permission to paint offices must also be secured from the same official.
