Anna Laura Wolf-Powers, Chair, Graduate Center for Planning & the Environment

I have been serving on the Academic Senate for the past two years and have found it an invaluable way of learning about and participating in the life of the institute. The Senate provides me as a faculty member and chair with the opportunity to convey the academic priorities of the architecture school to the administration -- in particular, the need to support faculty research and to help part-time faculty participate more fully in important institute functions by being compensated for the time they devote. I hope that my participation makes me a more effective member of the faculty and a more effective chair.
