Below is a brief list of issues and goals for A&AA committees for the coming year. In addition to these issues, it is quite likely that other concerns will emerge during the year, which the committees will need to address. I will be asking committee chairs to occasionally report to the School faculty and it is my intention to meet with chairs at least once each term. I would like to encourage faculty to communicate their interests and concerns to the relevant committees of the school.
