Offer your opinions on the next Dean for Undergraduate Education!

[John R. Velasco]

Dear Undergraduates,

On behalf of the Search Committee for the next Dean for Undergraduate 
Education, it is our pleasure to let you know that we are interested in 
soliciting your feedback. In the next few months, we will be reaching out 
to students, faculty, and staff to get the MIT Community's perspective on:

* What characteristics the next DUE should have?
* What priorities should the next DUE address?
* Suggested nominees?

We suspect that you probably have questions on what exactly the Dean of 
Undergraduate Education does (as we did too!), so we've summarized some of 
the Dean's functions below.  Feel free to check out the DUE homepage for 
more info: http://web.mit.edu/due/.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to forward these to 
the student representatives at due_search at mit.edu. If you are not 
comfortable in sharing your comments with the student representatives, you 
may contact Professor Eric Grimson, Chair of the DUE Search Committee, at 
welg at csail.mit.edu.

Yours Truly,

Danielle Ayodele Hinton, G, EECS

-------------
The Dean for Undergraduate Education impacts and coordinates the strategic 
activities of several major offices supporting the administration of 
undergraduate affairs including the admissions office, career services, 
registrars office, the office of minority education  and  student financial 
services. The DUE also has a special role in coordinating the educational 
program for first-year students. So if you're interested in the policies of 
admissions or the financial aid office, or of the direction of the OME, you 
may want to voice your thoughts on the sort of person you'd like as the new 
Dean for  Undergraduate education.
