As many of you may know, we are in the interview stage of the search for a new dean for the College of Architecture. Starting this week we will have three candidates come visit the campus to interact with administration, faculty, staff, students and professionals. There will be opportunities to engage these candidates, and I hope you take advantage of the ones that fit into your schedule. This is your chance to play a part in the selection process of our next dean. I know some of these times may not be the most convenient for you but do try to make an earnest effort to attend as many of the public presentations as your schedule allows. All public presentations will be held at the Sheldon Museum of Art at 4 pm for the following dates.
