One of the easiest way to get the posters to us so that we can print them is to have you or your students FTP them to the serverwww.csulb-cla.org using the login: posters and password: posters

FTP is an old internet protocol for moving files from one computer to the other. The advantage of FTP over email is that multiple large files can be moved without clogging inboxes. If you are not familiar with FTP, the College of Business has a great tutorial on how to use it. You can find this at: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/cba/it/tutorials/wsftp.html

Academic Technology also has a good set of instructions for FTP:

Also this web site has some useful tips:

Chrys Rodrigue has some useful FTP instructions on her page (at the bottom) on creating and editing HTML files:
http://www.csulb.edu/depts/geography/gdep/html.html

(1) Register at http://www.csulb-cla.org/conferences/index.php/CLA/2008/

(2) Submit the title of your poster after you have registered. We need this information so we can be certain to have all entries judged for the poster competition.This is done here: http://www.csulb-cla.org/conferences/index.php/CLA/2008/presenter/submit/1
(3) Use the Powerpoint template to make your poster. This template can be found at: http://www.csulb.edu/~clipo/papers/CLA2008/template.pot If you use your own template, make sure you use a size no larger than 36″x44″ You are free to modify the poster template in any other way (fonts, colors, images, etc).
(4) When your poster is complete and ready for printing, please ftp it to: ftp://www.csulb-cla.org/files/
when ftp’ing the posters (email me for the login and password) If you need instructions on ftping your file (or need a client to do the ftping) please see: http://www.csulb.edu/~athomaso/ftpnotes.htm (5) When your ftp is complete, please email: clipo@csulb.edu to let us know it is ready for printing. If you have problems, please email me. (6) The deadline for giving us the file is 9 May 2008 @ 6:00PM – this deadline is in place so we have enough time to print the posters prior to the poster session. Please email me in advance if you forsee any problems with that deadline.(7) We will email you the poster board location that you will be assigned prior to the poster session (and will also have a list at the session). We will have all posters ready by 9AM on the morning of the poster session (this begins @ 10AM). Please be ready to put your poster up before the beginning of the session. If you are printing the poster yourself, just bring it to the event — but be sure to register so we can make sure we have a space allocated to you.
We also ask that you spend as much time with your poster as possible so that participants can ask questions and so that you can explain your work. This explanation will be considered as part of the judging process.
As always, if you have any questions, please let me know.

To promote the College and events like the poster session, we have created this new logo. Let us know what you think.

Dear CLA Colleagues,

I am writing on behalf of members of the Department of English who, after raising questions at our 4/11 meeting about a certain proposed change to University RTP policy (PS 96-12), voted to circulate this message on the CLA listserve.

The following addition can be found in section 8.0 of the latest version of the University RTP document (attached) that has been sent out to faculty with a request for suggestions and comments:

“Changes to CSULB RTP procedures may occur as a result of changes to the Faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).  Additionally, campus administrators may make certain procedural changes to accommodate the university calendar or other campus needs.  In general, changes to procedures do not require a vote by the faculty [emphasis added].”

This language is absent from the RTP Policy currently posted on the Academic Senate’s website at  (http://www.csulb.edu/divisions/aa/grad_undergrad/senate/documents/policy/1996/12/).

We oppose the inclusion of these two sentences, which fail to define or limit “procedural changes,” “other campus needs” and “procedures.”  We recommend omitting both these sentences from any revision of University RTP policy.

The Department of English would like to remind CLA colleagues who also have questions about this proposed change to submit suggestions and comments to their Faculty Council representatives and Academic Senators in advance of the CLA Faculty Council meeting on Wednesday 4/12.

The proposed change will be taken up by the Academic Senate at its meeting on Thursday 4/13.

Thanks,

Steve Cooper
Assistant Chair
English
