You have been recommended by the Committee on Committees to serve as a member of the University Standing Committee on Extension, Engagement and Economic Development. Your willingness to accept this responsibility is very much appreciated.
The objectives of this committee are:
- Advise university leadership in matters of extension, engagement and economic development.

- Keep the university community informed of the need for, and support of, extension and outreach activities.
- Advocate for adequate recognition in support of extension and outreach endeavors.
- Communicate the signature image of the extension and outreach mission of the University.
- Consult with the Faculty Senate’s Resources and Environment Committee for consideration of policies, procedures or other matters pertaining to faculty concerns.
The committee is reminded of the importance of following provision of General Faculty
Bylaws, Article VII, Section 4, https://facultysenate.ncsu.edu/general-faculty/general-faculty-bylaws/
which requires that “All University standing and ad hoc committees shall forward reports simultaneously to the Faculty Senate and the appropriate administrator. Any action of the Faculty Senate in response to the report will be forwarded to the administrator.” The reports are to be accessible from the committee’s University Standing Committee website no later than May 25, 2018. This provision enables the Faculty Senate to review and comment on the recommendations of your committee in a timely fashion. It has generally been understood to include any formal committee minutes where these are regularly posted on the committee’s website and formal recommendations that are submitted for administrative review and approval.
The committee is expected to select a chair-elect from among the continuing members and
forward that name to Amy Jinnette no later than February 1. Each committee member is
normally appointed to a three-year term, which is subject to annual review.
Committee chairs are to use the committee’s web page provided at https://committees.provost.ncsu.edu/university-standing-committees/. Please contact Danielle
Porter for assistance in using the website and other administrative needs to

Again, your willingness to serve on this committee is appreciated.

be in touch with you soon regarding plans for the coming year.
