Announcement regarding Dean of Undergraduate Studies
2011年6月30日，Sue Peterson将结束她作为本科生研究主任的服务，她已经宣布她打算回到教师队伍。 Sue served as Dean for Educational Policy for two years, 2005-07, and then, following the resignation of Ed Pratt, as Dean of Undergraduate Studies since 2007. She will continue to serve as Wendy and Emery Reves Professor of Government and International Relations and as Co-Director of the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations, a highly successful research institute which she helped to create.

As Dean of Undergraduate Studies, Sue has dealt with countless student concerns, grade appeals, internship requests, and petitions. Sue has been the point person in ensuring that every semester we offer the courses that students need to meet their General Education Requirements and requirements for their major. We continue to have the 2nd highest graduation rate among public universities because of our ability to offer a wide range of courses, use our teaching resources efficiently, and meet student needs. More than anyone, Sue has ensured our success in this area, despite budget cuts, shifting student demands, and turnover among instructors. By her commitment to excellence and service, Sue has helped continue a strong tradition of faculty leadership in Arts & Sciences and made the College a more successful community of scholars and teachers.
In consultation with the Faculty Affairs Committee, I will appoint a search committee of three faculty members representing all three areas of the Arts & Sciences faculty, one contact dean, and one administrative staff member. They will begin an internal search for Sue’s replacement very soon. Gene Tracy, the incoming interim dean for Arts & Sciences, will also be involved in choosing the new Dean of Undergraduate Studies.
Please convey along with me your thanks to Sue for her dedication and leadership over the last six years. Sincerely yours,
Carl J. Strikwerda
Dean of Arts & Sciences
The College of William and 玛丽
