Your support of our school is truly remarkable. All of us are grateful for it. I also have good news on our staff front. To support our students’ career development efforts, we have hired a new assistant dean of career services, Rachel Dawson, ’99, who joined us in February. She has experience in all three facets required of a successful career services leader: professional development, career counsel- ing, and employer relations. You can read more about Rachel in this issue, and become better acquainted with dear friends Greg Canada, our assistant dean for admissions, who joined the school last summer.
