Head Tale

Tom Carmichael was recently selected as the new Dean at FIMS.  (Thanks to Linda B. for the tip – it's been a month and I'm already out of touch with what's going on at FIMS!) 

I went to all three information sessions for the Decanal candidates and Tom was my second pick of the three candidates but he should be good for FIMS based on his knowledge of the wider University community.  As someone who attended Tom's session said to me afterwards: “if FIMS is in a 'time of change' like they say, maybe having a new Dean familiar with the University and its politics is a good thing rather than bringing in an outsider and doubling up the changes you're going through.”  Good point.
