Assistant Vice Chancellor - Academic Personnel Nanette Caldararo has
accepted the position of Assistant Dean in the Division of Arts and
Humanities. Although the loss of Nanette's talents and counsel will
be felt throughout the academic departments and in the Senior Vice

Chancellor Marsha Chandler as she begins her new administration.
Because of the critical juncture of the arrival of Senior Vice
Chancellor-designate Chandler and the importance of this position on
the campus, the recruitment and selection of a successful candidate is
of the highest priority for the campus.

I am inviting the campus community to assist me in identifying
individuals with the experience, talent, and energy for the position.
