Re: Start of the academic year Camporees
“In full utilization of our collective cushy rolly chair, windowed, air controlled sagacity we recently hired the firm Ackownt, Tallee, & Trust. They determined that faculty have a mode value of 2.5 weeks until their first class, of which eleven (11) of these days are work days per procedure number 200.03.3, section 5.ii.
Therefore, we are pleased to announce a series of ten (10) day-long professional development participatory workshops we now call “Camporees.” (Many thanks to our consultant Cynthia Gaumless for her innovative conception and design of these Camporees.) We recognize that last year’s day-long “Orgies” had lower attendance than we preferred due to our opt-in protocol.
As a direct result, please note that this year we have synergized with the faculty association to develop with these fun and festive inclusive learning events, in other words attendance is now mandatory.
Bring your thinking caps! See you there!”
Following is the Agenda for Day 1 of the Camporee. (The remainder of the days’ agendas will be sent out on the morning of each day.)
Please note: Camporees start promptly at 8:30. Please ensure your prompt atendance. (Time allocated for start is 40 minutes).
AGENDA
1. Singing of the school spirit song, twice. Please note, it has come to our attention there has been a possible misunderstanding of the lyrics. Written by our esteemed founder Dr. Phillibus Tweedy in 1895, the lyrics are in part, “our glad-hymn root is once more sung,” the lyrics are not “our admin poop is once more flung.” Mis-singing the lyrics will now be considered a violation of our Respectful Workplace Policy. (10 minutes)
2. Tim Tanglewhip and team (IT) will set up the projector, allocated for 18 minutes (may run long) — please use this time to functionalize and smoothen collegial relations.

4. Introduction of new staff:
a) Jhohnhathan Aristo, Senior Assistant Undersecretary In-Training, Financial Specimen Clearance (Hillsdale High School graduate 2019). (20 minutes)
