 Subject: MASSMAIL - LAS Interim Dean

Dear Colleagues,

I write to update you on the search process for the individual who will 
serve as the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts for the next three years, 
and to invite your nominations for this critical leadership position. As 
outlined in a previous email communication from Provost Katehi, this 
search will be focused and internal, with the aim of identifying a Dean 
who will be appointed for a three-year term. This term will enable LAS, 
with support from the campus, to move decisively forward to strengthen the 
financial position of the College, to bring the Lincoln Hall renovation 
near to completion, and to identify and implement intellectual 
opportunities and management improvements which will enhance the College's 
effectiveness in achieving its goals.

Please consider individuals who have the leadership skills, creativity, 
interpersonal and communication competence, energy and vision to serve in 
this important role, and send your nominations to the search committee at 
LASdeansearch08@illinois.edu or to any member of the search committee.  
The membership of the search team is listed below. To ensure full 
consideration, please forward nominations by July 20, 2008. We anticipate 
conclusion of this process and appointment of the LAS Dean between August 
and October 2008.

Thank you in advance for your input and ongoing assistance with this 
process.

Sincerely,
Peter Beak on behalf of the committee
