I wanted to write you a quick note to let you know that the search process I was involved with is now over. It was an exhausting process that taught me a lot about myself and gave me cause for a great deal of reflection. I was humbled by the many messages of support and understanding I received from so many of you. Those messages reinforced for me how much I value where I am today and the current relationships I have with this community. I realized I am not ready to leave Wellesley and I am excited about continuing my work with you all as I look forward.
