Dear Colleagues,

First, I will take this opportunity to express our collective gratitude for the work of the search committees, our human resources personnel, and the support of the Offices of the Provost, Vice President for Research and Innovation, and Vice President for Equity and Inclusion. Members of the Couples and Family Therapy search committee included, Emily Tanner-Smith (chair), Tiffany Brown, Jessica Cronce, Richelle Krotts, Stephanie Shire, Prudence Tippins, and Jeff Todahl. The HEDCO Clinic Director search committee included, Beth Stormshak (chair), McKay Sohlberg, Wendy Machalicek, Nichole Kelly, Kristi Schneider, and Angie Whalen. Good work, all!

I am pleased to announce the hire of three scholars who will be joining our ranks for the upcoming academic year; Wendy Hadley, Bertranna Muruthi, and James Muruthi. Many of you met your new colleagues during the interview process and know their work. For those who are unfamiliar with their work, I have included some recent publications below.

Please join me in welcoming our new colleagues.

Randy
