Today the Academic Staff Association of the University of Macau publishes a report on the Academic Track Assignment Survey it conducted among UM academic staff during May 2015. In all, 178 academic staff, or roughly between one-quarter and one-third of all UM academic staff, responded and answered the survey which focusses on attitudes toward the academic track system, its implementation, perceived appropriateness and transparency, and effect on morale.
The report is available here: Report on Academic Track Assignment Survey
On 17 March 2016, 36 members of our Association gathered at the Fortune Inn restaurant on campus to hold the Annual General Meeting for the year 2016. The meeting was run by the Presidium of the General Assembly, a new body elected in the previous year as required by the Macau government. At the meeting the Executive Committee presented reports of its work during the past year. Among these, noteworthy items were the completion of a report on the academic track system, progress in the government registration of the revised constitution of the Association, and the successful fund-raising from two corporate sponsors. As the 2-year term of the Executive Committee was ending, a new Executive Committee consisting of seven members was elected, namely Wang Jianwei (FSS) as President, Gordon Kerr (FBA) as Vice-President, and Joann Chan (FBA), Chen Guokai (FHS), Chu Caixia (RC), Jiang Chunlian (FED) and Wang Ruibing (ICMS).
Members from Toastmasters and the Academic Staff Association and their families had a BBQ at Hac Sac Beach on November 15, 2015 with about 40-50 people. Most of the Toastmasters are local Macau people and this provided an opportunity for staff members to connect with the local community. It provided a wonderful opportunity for families and staff to socialize with each other while enjoying great food.
