President Ramaswamy, Provost Sands, and the deans named recently to head GSIPM, GSTILE and the new Advising, Career, and Student Services area have been working together since the retreats two weeks ago to consider the input generated by the community and to craft next steps that will help us translate that input into workable implementation plans.  Attached to this post is a powerpoint document that connects “takeaways” from the retreats with planning processes for four sets of issues: curricular development in each of two schools, creation of a seamless advising function, and consideration of the myriad administrative details and workflows that must be aligned to make both the reorganization, and integration with Middlebury, as smooth and efficient as possible.

On page 16 of the document, you will find information about the leadership of each of these four processes. Please feel free to contact any of them regarding your interest in contributing to the planning activities described.
