Dear friends of STS —
With the close of this semester I will be ending my short stint as interim director. I will be replaced by the new permanent director, Dr. Carmen Salsbury. Dr. Salsbury, who for the past six years has served as chair of the department of biological sciences, brings a lot of energy, a focus on student learning, a wealth of administrative experience, and a passion for studying the behavior of squirrels (In her honor that’s a sciurus carolinensis in the Santa hat).
Dr. Salsbury will take over January 2, but she and I will be working together over the coming months on the transition and on the search for the new full-time STS instructor. That search is, by the way, going well. We have received many quality applications, and expect to be bringing finalists to campus in February or March.
I have enjoyed working with so many of you over the last semester, and I look forward to continuing to work with STS as an instructor, advisor and a member of the steering committee. Have a good holiday, and make sure to come to our STS party on Friday January 17 so the we can welcome our new director.
