A search committee for the Dean of Nursing has been established. Dr. Rosemary Herbert has expressed a willingness to extend her term as Dean for an additional three years, as per UPEI policy. Therefore, the Search Committee is charged with carrying out a review and making a recommendation regarding her reappointment. In order to carry out that review effectively, the Committee will be seeking input from members of the University community. In particular, we would like you to provide us with advice with respect to Dr. Herbert's reappointment in three main areas: (1) her leadership, (2) her strengths as a Dean, and (3) areas for possible improvement. We look forward to your input. Please send your comments directly to my attention at vpa@upei.ca no later than February 13, 2015. The Search Committee will hold all input received in confidence, but will not consider anonymous material. Sincerely, Dr. Christian Lacroix Vice-President Academic and Chair of the Search Committee
