Dear John,

In considering the appointment of an Interim Dean of the College, the Trustees appreciate receiving the slate of candidates presented to us by the Faculty and Staff Senates. We have consulted with George Moffett and Stuart Jenkins on this matter and developed a process to interview the candidates.

George Moffett has indicated that he knows all three candidates well and is highly confident that any one of them could successfully lead Principia through the transition. He would be pleased to work with whichever candidate the Board chooses.

We expect to be able to announce who will fill this position no later than our April 19 Board Meeting .

Best regards,

Bill
