Professional Development in Vector Solutions: A great many faculty have put in for summer course work and other PDP approval. However, a large number of you have not chosen your evaluator when asked to do so. This leads to your PD approval being hung up in the system. If you have put in for PDPs please make sure you have chosen your evaluator.
