斯特里克维尔达院长给A&S全体教员的年终信
卡尔Strikwerda, Dean of the Faculty in Arts and Sciences at William & 玛丽, recently sent the following end-of-year report to members of the faculty. - Ed。
Dear Colleagues in Arts and Sciences:
Thank you for your hard work and your dedication to our students and to scholarship during what has been a very demanding year. 预算削减、加薪取消、几次教师招聘、寻找新的教务长和负责学生事务的副校长、战略规划、以及具有挑战性的咨询、部门和项目委员会、教师招聘和课程规划，这些都让你们非常忙碌。On behalf of our students, alumni, and friends, sincere thanks for all that you do.
Despite the challenges we have faced, we have made substantial progress. We recruited our top candidates in virtually all of our searches this year. 我希望，尽管预算削减，我们能够批准明年的大量搜索。Arts &Sciences was very well-represented in the strategic planning process and outcome, laying the foundation for our planning efforts in 2009-10 and beyond. New websites have enhanced our communications efforts greatly. We created a new Minor in Civic Engagement and merged African and Black Studies into a new program in Africana Studies. 新成立的国际关系理论与实践研究所获得了PLAID项目的主要资助，该项目由经济学、政府学和社会学教授领导。综合科学中心的第一期和第二期已经完工并被占用，小馆的扩建和改造正在进行中，未来艺术综合中心的可行性研究已经完成。Next fall, thanks to strong support from the Mellon Foundation and Swem Library, we will open a new Center for Geospatial Analysis in Swem which will expand our teaching and research in geographic information systems. While the renovation of Tucker Hall has unfortunately been delayed because of state funding issues, we have commenced a feasibility study on the future use of Tyler Hall. 由于商学院搬到新家，Tyler Hall和Blow Hall的一部分都被转移到艺术与科学学院。We have initial planning funds for Integrated Science Center Phase III.
我特别记得你们花在部门和跨学科项目、学院和文理委员会上的所有时间。教育政策、教师、研究生、出国留学、保留、推广、和任期内,教师大会,选择教授咨询和评估,和许多更多的作业花很多时间和精力。与许多机构相比，学院的师资管理仍然很强大，这要感谢你们所有人。
