Service

University or public service may take on a variety of forms, but opportunities for significant contributions in these areas tend to be sporadic and, usually, unpredictable. Nonetheless, challenges faced by rapidly evolving universities in highly dynamic educational, cultural, economic, and political environments demand that we be involved as information is acquired and evaluated, problems and potential solutions identified, and decisions made.
