Appts in Financial Mgmt Svcs & SOM Contracts & Grants

Please join me in extending congratulations to Gene Hasegawa, who is
assuming the position as Director for Financial Management Services for the
School of Medicine, reporting to Ron Espiritu, Assistant Dean for Fiscal
Affairs. Gene previously held the position of Assistant Director in the
School of Medicine Contracts and Grants Office for five years. Prior to
this, he worked in administrative support of Dr. Susan Taylor's research
program.

Next, we will be welcoming Kerry Nare as the new Assistant Director for the
SOM Contracts and Grants Office as of April 5, 1999. Kerry comes to us
from the campus Office of Contract and Grant Administration where she has
assisted School of Medicine faculty in her role as the senior NIH
administrative analyst for the last five years. She previously worked for
18 years in the Department of Biology Business Office. She will report to
Colleen Carpenter, the Director of the School of Medicine Contracts and
Grants Office.

Both these individuals are UCSD graduates and bring years of UCSD
experience to their new positions, and both look forward to working in
support of Medical School faculty and departments.

Best regards, Roger D. Meyer Associate Dean for Administration School of Medicine
