The education doctorate is the first doctorate that CSU campuses will be able to offer independently since the system was formed almost half a century ago. The program will feature an interdisciplinary emphasis that draws upon the strengths of multiple departments and colleges within SFSU. Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs John Gemello is forming an interdisciplinary design group of faculty and community members that will begin outlining curriculum for the program. The College of Education already offers a joint doctoral program in educational leadership that focuses on urban K-12 administration (with University of California, Berkeley; CSU East Bay; and San Jose State University). The new degree will have a broader focus and will prepare educational leaders for K-12, community college and other educational settings. Smoke-free campus event The campus community is invited to participate in a smoke-free campus event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, March 20. Students, faculty and staff at more than 20 locations throughout the campus will provide educational materials and resources for smokers who wish to quit and campus maps highlighting the locations of designated smoking areas will be distributed. Students, staff, faculty and administrators are encouraged to volunteer to staff tables. To participate, contact Albert Angelo at aangelo@sfsu.edu or ext. 8-3039. The event is sponsored by the Smoking Policy Task Force in association with the Office of the President. Administrative review for Dean Perea College of Education Dean Jacob Perea's Administrative Review Committee (ARC) is now soliciting input from members of the campus community. Administrative review questionnaires are available in the Office of the Provost, room 455 of the Administration building, by e-mailing Stephanie Schwartz at sschwrtz@sfsu.edu, or at the Academic Affairs Web site: www.sfsu.edu/~academic/aprq.htm Questionnaires should be returned by 5 p.m. Monday, April 3.
