Letter from the Dean

Dear Friends of the College,

As improbable as it may seem, the spring 2008 semester is drawing to a rapid close. We in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences wish all of our students good luck on their final exams and a peaceful summer break. We hope that they come back to campus in August refreshed and ready to delve back into their studies.

In particular, we wish our seniors a very happy graduation as they look to begin the next chapter of their lives, which we hope is filled with much happiness and success. Their contributions to the College will not be forgotten. We certainly hope that they continue to stay involved with the University and the College through the Office of Alumni Affairs. There are many opportunities to stay connected, and we hope that they take full advantage of them.

And even though the semester is nearly complete, activity in the College does not stop. Quite the contrary, in so many ways, it feels as if our work has only just begun. The College's seven task forces charged with "Re-imagining the College" remain hard at work, and I look forward to reviewing their final recommendations in the very near future. An Open Forum for all faculty and staff to discuss the progress to date of the task forces will be held on Monday, May 5, in the Villanova Room of Connelly Center. The session will begin at 10:30 a.m. with a report by the chairs of the various task forces. The floor will then be opened for suggestions and comments. The session will be followed by lunch; the event will end at about 1:30 p.m. If you plan on attending, please RSVP by May 1 to Michele Grimes.

In other news, Villanova University and the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia will present the traveling exhibition, “Gregor Mendel: Planting the Seeds of Genetics,” from May 24 to September 28, 2008, at the Academy. You can read more about the exhibit here. During the exhibition’s Philadelphia tour, all Villanova students, staff, and faculty who present valid identification will receive free general admission to the Academy.

The exhibit on Mendel's life, work, and legacy brings with it a wonderful opportunity for the College to celebrate this scientist's enormous impact on our world, while at the same time partnering with the Academy, a very well-respected museum in the city. I encourage you to experience the exhibit for yourself over the summer.

Thank you for continuing to read Inside A&S. We appreciate your continued interest in the life of the College, and, as always, we welcome your feedback. Have a peaceful summer.

Sincerely,


Rev. Kail C. Ellis, O.S.A., Ph.D.
Dean of the College
