Please note the additions to our Dean's Office of Bill Andrefsky, anthropology, newly appointed associate dean, and Jeff Puckett, our College development director. I'm especially proud to list in this issue our faculty who have been awarded tenure and who have been promoted. Please join me in offering them your congratulations. The conference also features workshops for faculty on teaching liberal arts courses for the new millennium. I hope you will make plans to attend as many events as possible.
Classes are welcome.
Best wishes, as always, for a productive semester. Bill Andrefsky , who is filling a halftime, associate dean's position for the year, will be working on CLA research, both internal and external, facilities planning, equipment and computer support, and tenure and promotion. Bill is also associate professor of anthropology and director of the Center for Northwest Anthropology. Jeff Puckett , our new director of development, is joining us after previous appointments in development at Sheldon Jackson College in Sitka, Alaska, and Elon College in North Carolina. We are pleased that Jeff seems ready to provide the leadership and enthusiasm we need in a position that has been vacant for some time.
