We invite you to participate in the exchange of ideas at

this year’s Faculty Day Conference. We expect the day to be

filled with thought-provoking, absorbing, and controversial

topics. The content of the conference is determined by your

suggestions and proposals.

Given the vast cross-section of academic backgrounds at the

college, topics considered from multiple disciplinary perspectives

or a variety of points of view are highly encouraged.

All faculty are invited to submit ideas. The Faculty Day Committee looks

forward to working with you on your proposal.

Preliminary ideas and proposals should be submitted by December 1, 2012 using the online form at

www.facultyday.org or you may drop off a paper proposal form in 3227 Boylan Hall. Please e-mail any

questions to Myra Kogen at mkogen@brooklyn.cuny.edu. Final Proposals will be due February 1, 2013.
