The Speaker of the Faculty is a faculty member elected for a three-year term to plan and lead Faculty Meetings and serve as the faculty representative on a number of university committees. The position was created in the 1990s, with Wallace Growney serving as the first Speaker. Since then, the position has been held by Linda McMillin, Thomas Peeler, Jeffrey Whitman, and David Richard. In September, 2012, Michele DeMary was elected Speaker of the Faculty. The first meeting that she led was held on Sept. 24.
Upon becoming speaker, Linda McMillin purchased a copy of Robert's Rules of Order. She inscribed it and passed it down to Tom Peeler, who inscribed it and gave it to Jeff Whitman, who inscribed it and presented it to Dave Richard in 2008.
On Sept. 24, Dave added his inscription and passed it to Michele.
This is how college professors have fun.
