I have enjoyed serving on CAPC for the past year and a half, during which time I have gained a better understanding of the processes involved in the development of the university curriculum. As a member of the Policies Committee, I have represented non-classroom faculty on issues before the committee. I would appreciate the opportunity to serve on CAPC for the next two years.
