[Isait] Stepping Down

[Maria Papadakis]

Folks, I am sorry for this flurry of listserv emails but I am winding down
the semester and tying up loose ends.

I wanted to let everyone know that I am stepping down as director of ISAIT
effective the end of this fiscal year. I have been ill for most of this
school year, and have had to focus my energies on meeting my basic
departmental obligations. This has been the principle reason why the
Institute has had such little activity this past academic year. In addition,
because of my health, I don't believe that I can give the Institute the time
and energy it deserves to build it into a stellar center. Since ISAIT is a
SPIA unit, Jim Bohland will be deciding how to proceed, and I am certain he
would appreciate any suggestions that you all might have.

Sincerely, Maria
