Spring 2011 message from the Dean
Dear Faculty and Staff Colleagues:
Welcome back to another busy semester at William and 玛丽. I trust that you all had a good break. I want to recognize some of our colleagues and update you on several items. Among those faculty deserving special recognition are:
Coco Faculty Fellows and Dean’s Distinguished Lecturers for 2010-11:
Weingartner Professor of International Studies for 2011-13:
Arts and Sciences Faculty Governance Awards for 2011:
We will recognize Profs. Kulick and Spaeth at a reception following the Faculty of Arts and Sciences meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 1, in the Andrews Hall lobby. All A&S faculty and staff are invited to the reception. Please come!
Faculty hiring has been progressing rapidly. I very much appreciate all the staff and faculty time that these searches take. At this point, we have hired new tenure-eligible faculty for 2011-12 in English, Government, Music, Philosophy, and Sociology. We have several other offers out, and we hope to hire as many as 19 more faculty by the end of the spring. All of the searches have had very large pools of strong candidates, and the quality of those we have hired thus far is excellent.
Communications and Development: Along with Steve Otto and Andrew Barry, I want to thank everyone in departments and programs who has worked on improving our communications and development efforts—activities including organizing alumni Homecoming receptions, refreshing websites, writing and sending out messages to alumni of your department or program, meeting with alumni, or providing Andrew’s office with information on your program for the Development Office’s work or working with Development in other ways. These efforts are important in moving Arts & Sciences forward.
在
Best wishes for a productive semester.
Carl J. Strikwerda
Dean of Arts and Sciences
