Dear Colleagues,

Tasia Smith's new article is yet another example of the impressive public scholarship being conducted by our recent faculty hires.  Jenny Ruef, Ilana Umansky, and Sarah Stapleton are among other recent examples.  This scholarship is noteworthy for its impressive reach and readership.  Tasia's piece, for example, was quickly picked up for distribution by the sources listed below.

We are truly fortunate to work with so many extraordinary new faculty.  They are rapidly moving our institution to new levels of prominence and relevance.

Nice work, Tasia!
