[CommAdvocacy] Student Involvement in the search for a new Dean of Faculty - Read Me!

[Staci Akselrod]

Hello All -

The upcoming month is going to be filled with visits from the four
candidates for Dean of Faculty/Vice President of Academic Affairs.  As
the Student reps to the Dof/VPAA search committee, we know how
important student involvement in this search process is.  We urge as
many students as possible to come to these candidate meetings with
students, so that we can best represent you and your opinions in the
decision-making process.  We invite any feedback on how to spread the
word of the search, as well as on the candidate visits.  Please visit
our Hampedia page: https://hampedia.org/wiki/DoF/VPAA_Search for more
information on the process.  Please email sra08 or jaeh08 with any
questions, feedback, or advice.  Below is information on candidates
and visit schedules.

Sincerely,
Staci Akselrod (F08) and Jake Hawkesworth (F08)
