Dear Students, Instructors, Staff and Faculty in the Department of Art,

I want to express my deepest sympathy at the recent events in Minnesota and Brunswick, Georgia. The death of George Floyd is awful and unbelievable; I hope all of the four officers involved are held properly accountable for their actions. And the same for the two who wrongfully and for no reason, took the life of Ahmaud Arbery. Coming from a white woman of privilege I hope this does not come across as ingenuine but I am saddened by the brutality of the police against black people in this country and the long history of the inequity and systemic racism. Every one of us must take it seriously enough to find ways to stop this outrageous violence. I came to art because I believe that art is a profoundly human way of being and it offers so much to us as a society to bond and unite.

I can appreciate that many of you are angered and cannot find solace; I want you to know that the Department is standing in solidarity with our colleagues and peaceful demonstrators against racism and discrimination.

As President Thrasher outlined in his message; ?it is important during these times that we reaffirm the values that we, as a university, hold most dear ? respect, civility, and diversity and inclusion ? as well as our commitment to justice and equality.?

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie and other CFA Faculty!

I love that yall are speaking out to us in support of this movement. I think it would be really amazing to see more black instructors in the College of Fine Arts, or maybe open up a scholarship fund specifically for black students, like the awards you just sent out a few weeks ago.
We in the arts must always push for justice and fair representation, and I just really think this movement is the perfect time to examine how so many of our institutions, organizations, and communities are white- dominant.
I encourage y'all to hold some sort of panel or Zoom discussion, as well as working with the students of the CFA to discuss how we can bring greater black representation to the College of Fine Arts and what steps to take moving forward.

I am 100% confident that y'all will do the right thing, I have never questioned the good intentions of any CFA Faculty, just now that we are all aware about all this I we really need to start challenging our own local boards of leadership, and making some positive change.
Love yall and thank you for acknowledging this huge civil rights movement,
Sincerely,
Jamie Reeves
Class of 2022

 Whyte

Hi all,

Please read the following message from the area head of Painting & Drawing, Professor Lilian Garcia-Roig:







Dear Colleagues,



I am writing to share the exciting news that Cosmo Whyte will join us this fall as Assistant Professor in the area of Drawing and Painting. Cosmo comes to us from Atlanta, where he served on the faculty of Morehouse College and has been building a dynamic and impressive professional record. If you did not have an opportunity to see Cosmo's work this spring, I encourage you to visit his website: http://www.cosmowhyte.com/<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.cosmowhyte.com/__;!!PhOWcWs!kFupzPYTV3YXoo8KHiWCpIJkWTSRqRMT-nyjYhoSdcW8OKsVU_c7LRn3E8Z5Mbs2Jg$> . Cosmo's practice incorporates drawing, painting, performance, and installation to explore how identity is influenced by migration. I am excited to see how he will guide and inspire our students.



Cosmo is coming here during an especially challenging time, and the ways we generally meet and welcome new faculty may not be available to us this fall. Cosmo has indicated that he would not mind receiving messages from individual faculty members, so I encourage you to reach out and consider ways you can help him find a home in our city and department. His email address is cosmo.whyte at gmail.com<mailto:cosmo.whyte at gmail.com>.





Best,

Lilian Garcia-Roig

Meredith Lynn, Judy Rushin & Daniel Luedtke along with Carrie Ann Baade & Stephanie James.

Hi all,

Please see the following message from Leah Sherman:


Hi all,

I am writing just to remind you about current library services, as we continue in this remote learning environment:


FSU Libraries now offers curbside pick-up of library materials in the Strozier and Dirac collections for FSU faculty and students. We are aiming for a 48-72 hour turnaround (3 business days) but we expect the process will be faster as staffing allows. For more information about the service, including pick-up protocol and the link for placing a request, see: https://lib.fsu.edu/service/curbside-pick-up


We also offer other scanning resources:

  *   Special Collections & Archives (SCA): The SCA team will be prioritizing digitization for instruction this summer and fall and are prepared to build Canvas modules, Zoom into classes, and work with faculty to support research and teaching. If you want to include instruction or materials from SCA, be sure to make your request early, as prepping for an online environment requires additional time. Visit the SCA website for more information: https://www.lib.fsu.edu/specialcollections/index.html.
  *   Interlibrary Loan (ILL): ILL is accepting requests for articles and book chapters. We will fulfill requests when electronic copies are available, but there may be delays due to library closures nationwide. Please note: ebook licensing and copyright law prohibits us from receiving entire ebooks via ILL or UBorrow. Interlibrary Loan and UBorrow services for print materials remain suspended.
  *   Course Reserves: Physical course reserves are still suspended but we are accepting requests for electronic course reserves, which are uploaded directly into Canvas. Instructors who need library materials scanned for their courses may use our Reserve Item Request page and for audiovisual materials, please see our Streaming Media Course Reserves information page. More information on all reserves services here: https://www.lib.fsu.edu/service/course-reserve-information-faculty


Please keep an eye on our COVID-19 news page for the most up-to-date news on our resources and services: https://lib.fsu.edu/news/covid-19


As always, if you've got any questions or feedback I'm happy to hear it.

Best, and stay well!

Subject: Re: Automated Pass/Fail Grading Process

Courses taken pass/fail cannot be used to satisfy liberal studies (excluding language courses), major or minor requirements - that has always been the rule.

The only exception to this rule was made during the spring term 2020 due to the COVID crisis when all courses were allowed to be taken as such.

 Beginning this summer term 2020 the normal rules governing pass/fail requests were re-implemented.
