RE: Next MSFS Faculty Meeting, February 12, 12:15, 7th Floor Executive
Conference Room/MSFS Concentration Chair Search

Dear Folks,

I hope that you had a great break and a very Happy New Year! And I hope the
semester is off to a good start!

I want to bring to your attention two items:

*First*, a reminder that the next MSFS Faculty Meeting will take place on
Tuesday, February 12th at 12:15 in the 7th Floor Executive Conference Room.
The main item of business will be the Report of the External Reviewers. An
RSVP link will be forthcoming, and we will provide a detailed agenda with
documents attached. Lunch with be served.

*Second, *as you know, Ross Harrison will be stepping down as MSFS
 Concentration Chair for International Business effective July 1. Again, we
want to thank Ross for his great service and wish him the very best for the
next phase of his career!

Earlier this month, the Dean constituted a search committee, consisting of
Bob Cumby, Mark Lagon, and yours truly as chair. The job announcement was
officially posted yesterday, and we are now engaging in an effort to find
the right person for the position. This is a very critical hire for MSFS,
and we need to recruit an outstanding professional to lead
the Concentration.

I am pasting in the job advertisement below. Please feel free to circulate
this ad as widely as possible and let me know if you have any ideas about
potential candidates.

Thanks so much! Hope to see many of you on the 12th!

Tony
