Week 1: Fall Semester

Although classes don’t begin until Friday, the giant is awakening from its slumber. Students are beginning to move in, the campus is looking immaculate.

I am at the moment deeply involved in a number of academic searches–this is the beginning of the high season for that academic activity also. In the next several blog entries, I’ll write about the process–how it is typically implemented, and how I think it can be made more effective.

Later in the semester I’ll spend some time discussing fundraising–which is an increasingly important activity for scientific administrators.
