 Subject: MASSMAIL - Vice Chancellor for Research

To Members of the Campus Community:

I am pleased to inform you that Dr. Tony Waldrop, Interim Vice Chancellor 
for Research, has accepted my offer to succeed Richard Alkire as Vice 
Chancellor for Research.  Subject to Board of Trustees' approval, his 
appointment will begin March 3.   He will continue to serve as Interim Dean 
of the Graduate College until a new dean is named.

Tony has done a superb job as Interim Vice Chancellor for Research, within 
the Office of the Vice Chancellor, throughout the rest of the campus and in 
external arenas.  He has played a key role in the development of plans for 
the new research park and I am impressed with his excellent ideas on ways 
in which to increase the amount of federal and corporate research dollars 
coming to campus.  

Tony received his bachelor's, master's and Ph.D. degree from the University 
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and came to the University of Illinois in 
1989. He currently holds an appointment as full professor in molecular and 
integrative physiology and has served in several administrative capacities 
since 1993.  

Sincerely,



Michael Aiken
Chancellor
