GER P&D Subcommittee co-chairs sent deans, department chairs, and program directors a video (linked below) in order to share information about the steps that led to the creation of GER's P&D subcommittee along with the process and related timeline for communicating with the Hunter College community, including faculty, students, staff, and administrators, about the potential steps required to review the existing P&D categories as well as how they might be potentially reframed.

The video was accompanied by a request to share and discuss the P&D video and related process questions with departments at their October departmental meetings, their upcoming curriculum committee meetings, or at whatever venue was most appropriate to departments and units. The video also asked departments and units to discuss the process with students, in whatever course(s) or meetings they deemed appropriate, in order to share any student feedback with the P&D Subcommittee.
