Dear College of Science Colleagues,

I would like to provide a quick update regarding the search for Dean of Science. The search committee is in the process of scheduling our kick off meeting for mid-July. We anticipate our focused recruitment strategy will be in place through mid-September and we plan to conduct airport interviews with semi-finalists at the start of October. We are currently targeting mid- to late-October for campus interviews, with an appointment date of January 1, 2013. As you know, search timelines change as the search evolves, and you will receive updates as the search progresses.

Questions may be directed to me or to Gigi Bruce, Special Assistant to the Provost, at any time during the search process. I hope you are enjoying your summer.

Larry Rodgers
