Dear Colleagues:
I am pleased to announce the initiation of a national search for the Dean of the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

I have asked the following individuals to serve on the search committee:

- Kenneth Blumenthal, Professor and Chair of Biochemistry

Assisting the search committee will be Ilene H. Nagel who leads the national Higher Education Practice for Russell Reynolds Associates, focusing on searches in universities and colleges for senior academic administrators. Ilene brings to her role at Russell Reynolds extensive experience in academic leadership and as a higher education search consultant.
Shortly, Dean Trevisan will convene the search committee to develop the search process and appropriate timetable, and to begin to solicit for nominations. I am sure we will attract a large number of excellent candidates, and I look forward to the committee's recommendations.
