Dear CEC faculty and staff,

The Office of the Dean and the Office of Diversity, Outreach, and Inclusive Learning would like to alert you to the following events being put on by CEC for the rest of the 2023 year.

Please note that some of the below events are asking for faculty and staff participation. We hope that you sign up to engage.

Note that this Thursday, November 16 from 1 pm - 3 pm is CECs pie event, where we are asking departments to register<https://forms.office.com/r/ecG0c1YXaA> to provide 1-2 pies from their culture or from another culture whose cuisine they admire. Pies can be dropped off at room 2800 in the Engineering Building between 11 am and 12 noon on Nov 16. Please be mindful that some of our students and colleagues have dietary limitations, so pies that are gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, etc., are most welcome.

Another volunteer opportunity where faculty and staff can register to engage with students<https://forms.office.com/r/2iCBfFDHNu> is the Late Night Breakfast with CECs Living Learning Community, which will take place on Wednesday, December 6, in Taylor Hall (10444 Presidents Park Drive) on the Fairfax campus from 9 pm - 11 pm.

Finally, be advised that the Office of the Dean and the Office of Diversity, Outreach and Inclusive Learning has asked that Departmental Chairs nominate 1-2 faculty and staff (1 faculty and 1 staff preferably) to represent and support the DOIL team in preparing for and executing Innovation Week, which will take place from Monday February 19 through Saturday, February 25 in 2024. Departmental representative should be nominated here<https://forms.office.com/r/dK4yYzFchA> by end of day on Friday, December 15 and the I-Week Committee will have their first charge meeting early in the new year.
