Dear Colleagues,
I hope everyone has settled into the new academic year and is enjoying the autumn weather. It is a great time for us to get out of our offices and labs and find out what is happening beyond our own walls.
Our Annual Arts and Sciences Staff Town Hall meeting tomorrow (Thursday, October 20) in 0100 Mendenhall Lab offers an opportunity to learn about and engage in the life of our college. This is a meeting that is built around you; your ideas, questions and concerns. We will answer both previously-submitted questions and those that may occur to you on-the-spot.
I know that I am fortunate to have one of the most dedicated and competent staffs on this campus. Please know that your input is always sought and valued. I encourage you to take an hour from your busy schedules to join your colleagues tomorrow from 3:30 to 4:30 pm.
I look forward to seeing you.
JOSEPH STEINMETZ
EXECUTIVE DEAN AND VICE-PROVOST
