I think the key question, if the tradition continues, is how to make it more sustainable. Spreading the work across more faculty is important, but it's also important that the main organizer be someone like an Associate Chair who has releases from teaching to do some of the organizing. Do we think EW is good use of this release time? https://padlet.com/memusgra/p9338svuu4088nw/wish/2090864246 2022-03-11 17:48:44 UTC https://padlet.com/memusgra/p9338svuu4088nw/wish/2090864246 Just saying... this event is a huge amount of work to pull off with not a lot of cross-department faculty buy-in.
