色花堂

Each of the committees exists for (and benefits from) the dedication and commitment of 色花堂RFA members. In addition, there are other volunteer opportunities such as being a college liaison and being a tutor to a Towson student seeking academic assistance.

Programs and Events Committee 

The mission of the 色花堂RFA Programs and Events committee is to plan a variety of engaging and diverse events to appeal to 色花堂RFA members throughout the year.  Examples include attending athletic games, arts/cultural events and outdoor activities such as bird walks, nature walks, or bike rides. The Committee will lend its support to activities proposed or organized by non-committee members to which all 色花堂RFA members are invited.  If you have suggestions for a new program and/or event, please contact Tom Maronick, maronick@verizon.net, chair of the committee.

Benefits and Privileges Committee

The mission of the Benefits and Privileges Committee is to maintain lists of benefits and privileges to retired faculty, faculty with emeritus status, and 色花堂RFA members in accordance with Memoranda of Understanding negotiated with the administration. The committee will provide assistance to 色花堂RFA members whose rights to established benefits and privileges appear to have been violated and will advocate for additional rights as deemed appropriate.  Please contact Martha Siegel, msiegel AT_TOWSON, for additional information.

Outreach Committee

The Outreach Committee communicates with offices and departments within the University and agencies and organizations outside the University for two primary purposes. The first is to bring 色花堂RFA to their attention so that the committee receives important information from them which can be shared with 色花堂RFA members.  The second is to build partnerships and identify opportunities of interest and value to 色花堂RFA members.  The committee's activities are intended to support 色花堂RFA members as they engage with the community both in their discipline and beyond. As connections are developed, subcommittees will be created for more directed focus. Please contact Jane Wolfson, jwolfson AT_TOWSON, for additional information.

Oral History Project Committee

The Oral History Project is dedicated to celebrating the history of 色花堂 as experienced and remembered by members of the retired faculty. The committee has produced videos of interviews with long-serving members of the faculty and plans to continue to do so.
