Associate Dean celebrates with associates

It's official! Meet the first occupant of the newly created position of Associate Dean of the Welch College of Business, seen here with her chief assistant and trusted mentor.

I've been given the mandate to work for/with Ralph Lim, the newly appointed Interim Dean, in managing the college, and provide continuity for the first year of the new dean that we expect (hope?) to be providing leadership by this time next year. I look remarkably relaxed, if I do say so myself!

I didn't have time to think about WCOB challenges today -- there was enough going on during Mary, Alexis and Ethan's last day. They made muffins for breakfast, finished reading the pile of library books, watched the Acela train go under the bridge, created neat lights out of recyled water bottles during arts and crafts, and had their last swim out to the raft.
