EXTENDING PROFOUND GRATITUDE

AND JOYFUL APPRECIATION TO SENATORS

PENELOPE WARREN AND RICK HOULBERG

WHEREAS all involved felt that this year’s Asilomar program was one of the finest ever, filled with meaty discussions, thoughtful presentations, and good fellowship, all amidst the scenic delights of Asilomar; and

WHEREAS one new faculty member described the cabaret this way: “If before Asilomar any of us were unsure of the type of intellectual community we belonged to, the witty, crazy, silly, and entertaining performance-night set us straight”; and

WHEREAS Senators Penelope Warren and Rick Houlberg served as co-chairs for the 2003 Asilomar retreat, both putting in many long hours in organizing the program; and

WHEREAS there was widespread and enthusiastic approval for the outstanding job that they did; now therefore be it

RESOLVED that the Academic Senate of San Francisco State University express its profound gratitude and joyful appreciation of the manifold contributions made by Senators Penny Warren and Rick Houlberg to the success of the 2003 Asilomar retreat; and be it further

RESOLVED that the Academic Senate of San Francisco State University bestow upon Senator Penny Warren the titles
