Dear members of the CAS Advisory Council, I hope that the summer vacation season is treating you well! I'm racing out the door for a flight from JFK to Vienna, and then on to Debrecen to join the UD Chorale for the upcoming international competition. I wanted to share the past two weeks of highlights with you before departing. You'll note that we've begun the process for identifying the next Provost for UD: http://www.udel.edu/udaily/2013/jul/National-Search-071212.html Feel free to make nominations directly to me if you know someone who might make a great candidate. I'll keep you posted as we develop the supporting materials with the search firm SpencerStuart that is assisting us. George Watson |
