Subject:	Solicitation of Nominations for FSE Dean Search Committee


Happy New Year to all of you.  

As you may recall, President Marsden decided late last year to not
reappoint the present Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering
for another term.  A committee to search for a new Dean is therefore
being put together.  This committee will be chaired by Vice President
S. Embleton and will begin its work shortly after she returns from a
trip to India during the week of January 23.  In keeping with
established custom, Vice President Embleton has directed that either
an undergraduate or graduate FSE student be elected as a voting member
of the Dean Search Committee.  This memo therefore requests
nominations for this position.  Feel free to nominate yourself or
someone else provided of course they agree.  All individuals nominated
must be current undergraduate or graduate students in the Faculty of
Science and Engineering.  Nominations should be sent to J. Lavigne at
jlavigne@yorku.ca in the FSE Administrative Office in 352 Lumbers.
The deadline for receiving nominations is Friday January 13 at 4:30
pm.

Undergraduates will vote at the FSE administrative office in 325
Lumbers which will be open on the mornings of Thursday, January 19 and
Friday, January 20 between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm.  Graduate students
will vote in their respective department offices on the same dates but
at times that may be slightly different to accommodate graduate
secretaries.  All students must show their York registration card in
order to vote.  The outcome of the vote will be available the
following Monday.  Thank you for your assistance in this important
matter.
