To: Members of the University Community

I am pleased to report that the committees to search for two new vice-presidents and the dean of arts and science have now been formed and will begin meeting toward the middle of November. The committees will welcome input from the university concerning the challenges that will face these new officers, and the attributes we should be seeking in candidates.

        Please watch this space for more information about the progress of the searches through the coming months.

Sincerely,

David C. Smith
