     Re:       University Senate Meeting ~ March 2014

    On March 3, 2014 the University Senate will hold its second meeting of the spring semester at 4:00 p.m. in Rome Ballroom on the Storrs Campus.  All members of the University community are welcome to observe any University Senate meeting.  Visitors who are not elected senators should use the seats located along the walls of the room (as the seats at the tables are reserved for senators).

    The Senate meeting agenda and reports can be found at:
