“Sponsored by the Labor Arbitration Institute, spend a day at this conference and learn with the best teachers. The faculty are excellent speakers and experts in labor relations. And they draw upon a rich experience to bring a real-world dimension to the training.”

New York troublemakers are planning a day of skill-building workshops, education, and strategy discussions to put some movement back in the labor movement. This school will be a great opportunity for union members, stewards, and activists to share strategies and build the solidarity required in these tough times. »

This event is being sponsored by CSU-AAUP and the 4Cs. Stay tuned for more details.

Last month’s Work Life Family Conference was an invigorating experience and provided a great start to some important conversations. It is wonderful to have so many individuals ready and willing to advance the work, life, and family initiatives that were raised.

As a means of moving forward, all who are actively interested in making some of these visions a reality either on your campus or across the CSCU system are invited to a strategy session Friday, November 30, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at CCSU in Room 1849 of the Student Center (2^nd floor). Lunch will be provided.

Initially, we will explore some of the processes, policies, programs, and general culture changes we want to see in our places of work and study, so we feel supported in all parts of our lives when we come to campus. We will also aim to answer the following questions:

•  What does it mean to have a family-friendly campus?
•  What does it mean to have a family-friendly CSCU system?

Please RSVP to pearsonaf@ccsu.edu if you will be able to join us.  Also, if you know of others who might be interested in these issues, please share this invitation with them.

We look forward to continuing these conversations with you!

The Annual Spring Meeting of the Connecticut State Conference, AAUP, will focus on the proposal to consolidate the community college system and on other higher-education concerns. Connecticut State Senator Mae Flexer will be the keynote speaker. Senator Flexer’s hard work in the Connecticut House of Representatives and now the Senate is reflected in her impressive credentials. Most recently, she has been an outspoken opponent of the effort to consolidate Connecticut’s community colleges. Governor Ned Lamont’s higher-education budget will also be part of the discussion. Other speakers include CCSU’s Stephen Adair.

In the fall of each year, Gallo & Robinson, LLC. holds the annual Connecticut Lobbying Conference to help new lobbyists learn how to be effective advocates for their causes and seasoned veterans update their skills.

The Conference begins with a moderated panel of legislative leaders in the Connecticut General Assembly.  After the morning panel, you can choose from 12 different workshops that will take place throughout the day.

Please join CSU-AAUP Nov. 13, 2019, for a fascinating presentation of faculty research and a perfect example highlighting the importance of sabbatic leave to our members’ work. CCSU’s Dr. Katherine Hermes will present her work “Recovering Hartford’s Hidden Past: People of Color in Hartford’s Ancient Burying Ground, 1640-1815.” This is part of a collaborative and interdisciplinary research project involving a team of faculty, students, librarians, artists, and computer scientists. Together they discovered the identity and life stories of hundreds of African and Native Americans who may have been buried in the Ancient Burying ground and who, until now, had been forgotten.
