I have fond memories of this date, as it was exactly a year ago that Patrice and I came to UNCW to accept the position. In many ways it does not seem that a year has already passed so many good things have happened. I have truly enjoyed my first year here, due not so much to what I have personally accomplished, but to the help that each of you has given to me and the hard work you have done. Before I move to the main points I want to discuss at length, there are two items to highlight. First, we are establishing two new mentoring programs, one for untenured faculty and the other for faculty interested in exploring administration.
Forms are available for each program.
Briefly, the faculty mentoring program is open to those who would like to be mentored and those who would like to mentor. Arrangements can be made for mentoring pairs both within and outside of one s home department. This program is also open to those who would like to be mentored as well as administrators who would like to serve as mentors. If you have any questions about either program, please contact either Anne Kendrick or me. This means that we have some issues to address.
