[Plantsci] Message from Dean Shane Burgess & Assistant Dean Jeannie McLain

[Enriquez, Lizeth - (lizenriquez)]

Dear Colleagues,

This morning we launched a search for the new director of the School of Plant Sciences. Not only is a successful search critical to PLS faculty, staff, and students, but it will be important to the Division of Agriculture, Life, and Veterinary Sciences, and Cooperative Extension, the rest of the UA, and Arizona's economy.

Following the Spring 2022 updates to the MOU on Shared Governance<https://facultygovernance.arizona.edu/sites/default/files/2022-08/Shared%20Governance%20Faculty%20Letter%20and%20MOU.pdf>, we are grateful and thankful to those who have agreed to serve on the search committee. This search will require significant investment in time and work. It is essential that the committee engage with you proactively and vis versa. Confirmed committee members are listed below; three nominees are pending confirmation and we will update the list if there are any additional committee members.

Ethan Orr, Extension Administration - chair
Amanda Armendariz, Plant Sciences
Judith Brown, Plant Sciences
David Dierig, Bridgestone Americas, Inc.
Fatemah Dili, Research Administration
Vineeth Koneru, undergraduate student, Plant Sciences
Michelle McMahon, Plant Sciences
Marc Orbach, Plant Sciences
Samantha Orchard, Plant Sciences
Duke Pauli, Plant Sciences
Sadhana Ravishankar, Animal and Comparative Biomedical Sciences
Moshe Steyn, graduate student, Plant Sciences

Best regards,
Shane Burgess and Jeannie McLain
