[Faculty] Faculty Retreat on Tues. Aug. 25

[mgupta]

Cindi,
      I would let you  know if I am planning to attend the retreat 
just as soon as I find out (1) what time-filler we have scheduled to 
keep the faculty busy between 8 a.m. and noon; and (2) whether or not 
the day of retreat is a furlough day for me.
