SUBJECT:

Appointment of Dean-Division of Social Sciences

Vice Chancellor Caserio and I are pleased to announce that Professor
Paul W. Drake will assume the position of Dean of the Division of Social
Sciences.

Professor Drake is a distinguished member of the Department of
Political Science with adjunct appointments in the Department of
History and the Graduate School of International Relations and Pacific
Studies. He has been a member of the UCSD faculty since 1984 and is
the first holder of the Institute of Americas Chair for Inter-American
Affairs. He is an internationally recognized scholar of Latin America
and played crucial roles in the development of UCSD's Center for
Iberian and Latin American Studies and the Graduate School of
International Relations and Pacific Studies. He served as Chair of
the Department of Political Science from 1989-1993.

We are most fortunate to have Professor Drake as a member of our
faculty and, now, as Dean of Social Sciences. Please join me in
welcoming him to his new post which, pending Presidential review and
appointment, will be effective July 1, 1995.
