Some faculty are so busy that is takes numerous requests to get a faculty report.
Part of the good news is that the Weissenborn Scholarship Fund has almost doubled in the past two years, thanks to you the alumni, and a generous gift from the Weissenborn family in the name of Helen Weissenborn Worthington, daughter of Al Weissenborn. The other good news is that we have a replacement for the mineralogy position, Jenny Thomson, who came to us from State University of New York at Albany. This seriously limits the diversity of courses that we can offer to our students. In order to offer the courses that are necessary, it requires that we go back to a teaching load similar to that required 25 years ago. Hopefully, this is a short-term situation.
