Wrapping Up as I Start my Sabbatical

Dear Colleagues,

I look forward to seeing many of you at the holiday party this afternoon.

I am headed out on sabbatical at the close of this semester, returning September 1. The Institute is in capable hands with Steve Snyder serving as interim VPAA and Provost Michelle McCauley also taking on some of my responsibilities. 

Don’t forget that faculty and staff are invited to join Steve and Michelle for a casual lunch gathering in the Holland Center on Tuesday, January 30, at 12:15PM in the Holland Center.

Who to contact during my absence

Several individuals can serve as first point of contact for inquiries around these areas:

• Institute Operations & Office of the VPAA: Barbara Burke
• On-site Programs: Daniel Chatham
• Online Programs: Patricia Szasz
• Faculty: Laura Burian
• Staff: Michael Ulibarri or Hannah Ross
• Students: Ashley Arrocha
• Non-degree Programs: Alicia Brent
• Grants: Meghan Rasmussen

As needed, primary contacts will engage with the interim VPAA and Provost for decisions and strategic direction. All calendar requests for Steve Snyder should go to Barbara Burke. Calendar requests for Michelle McCauley should go to Erin Southworth.

Thank you so much to all of you for making the Middlebury Institute what it is. I wish all of you rest and plenty of merriment with the people you love over the holiday break.

Take care,

JDJ
