[BNC-all] Transitions...

[Schwartz, Melissa J]

Dear BNC Colleague-

As many of you know, I have been a candidate for the position of provost for the past two weeks. I was offered and accepted the position Wednesday afternoon.  Although this is an unexpected twist in my career track, I see it as a challenge and as an opportunity to give back. It has been a privilege working with you for the past three years in the BNC. This is, no doubt, the greatest research environment I have experienced.  I will certainly stay involved, even after the transition (details TBD). Thank you for your efforts to make the BNC community strong, and the BNC a pleasant work environment.

Best Regards,

Tim
