Greetings, all. I trust everyone has had an enjoyable and productive summer, and that preparations for Fall are going well. I wanted to let everyone know that Dr. Mary Edith Stacy is leaving Northwestern to join her husband in Dallas where he serves as the
CEO of the Dallas Safari Club. I am very grateful for her work as Dean of The Graduate School at Northwestern, and wish her all the best. </div>

I will be taking back the duties as Dean of The Graduate School at Northwestern. Thankfully, Dr. Thomas Reynolds, Dept. Head of English, Languages, and Cultural Studies will be moving into a dual role as Dept. Head and Assistant to the Provost for Graduate
Studies. </div>
