Hello again! Since sending this email on Friday, I have heard from two doctoral students that the proposed time will not work for them. So, the FDSA committee would like to propose three more time slots to ensure that you all are able to attend. Please let me know by the end of day Friday 10/22/21 if the following day and time slots work for you and if you have a preference for a particular time slot. December 2nd , 2021 9:00 am to 10:00 am 9:30 am to 10:30 am 10:00 am to 11:00 am Thank you, Vandana <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Vandana Singh, PhD Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 453 Communications Building, 1345 Circle Park Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996-0341, Phone : (865) 974-2785.

This event will be hosted on Zoom to facilitate attendance. This first session will be about Grant Writing (Interdisciplinary collaboration) and the FDSA committee will facilitate the discussion with some talking points and questions. Please bring you questions for an engaging discussion, if you would like to send me any questions in advance please feel free to do that as well. The 9:00 am on Friday time slot is chosen because there are no SIS classes at this time. I will send a zoom link closer to the event. We hope to see ALL of you there, Thank you, Vandana (FDSA Committee – Dr. Allard (chair), Dr. Potnis and Dr. Singh) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Vandana Singh, PhD Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 453 Communications Building, 1345 Circle Park Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996-0341, Phone : (865) 974-2785.

The SIS Faculty and Doctoral Student Affairs (FDSA) Committee would like your input in planning for some professional development activities for this academic year. We would like to schedule brown bag discussions, presentations and related activities to support you as you progress in the PhD program. In late 2019, I had sent an initial survey to you all about potential topics for a brown bag and one suggestion was “Grant Writing”, we were not able to offer that brown bag because of Covid in Spring 2020. As we plan for new topics, please let me know if you would like us to plan a “Grant Writing” brown-bag for this semester. Also, please let me know if you have any other ideas for topics for professional development. I look forward to hearing from you all and an active year of faculty-doctoral student interaction in this year! It would be great if you can send me your responses by next Friday – October 1st 2021. Thank you, Vandana (FDSA Committee – Dr. Allard (chair), Dr. Potnis and Dr. Singh) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Vandana Singh, PhD Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, 453 Communications Building, 1345 Circle Park Drive, Knoxville, TN 37996-0341, Phone : (865) 974-2785.
