Dear colleagues,

I have been appointed chair of the committee that is looking into the past, and 
hopefully future, operation of what is now known as the Faculty Club.  (One of 
the changes under consideration is revising the name to something more inclusive 
of staff and possibly other friends of UTC, such as the University Club.)  As 
part of the process, the Faculty/University Club Committee wants to know about 
your experiences with, and vision for, the Club.

If you could take a few minutes to answer the following questions by return 
e-mail, the committee would greatly appreciate it, as it will help guide our 
efforts to transform the Club into something that will meet the needs of faculty 
and staff and enhance the "quality of life" on campus.  If you find it easier, 
you may print out the survey, circle and/or write in your responses, and return 
it to me via campus mail c/o CSEE, Department 2302.

Thanks in advance and I hope to hear from many of you soon.

Sincerely,

Joe Dumas
Professor, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
Chair, Faculty/University Club Committee
