Dear Colleagues,

 

As we approach the end of the year, there are a couple of items that need attending to. 

 

 First, as you know, the Board has approved a modest salary increase for next year.  You will be getting the letter outlining your raise for next year at your home address, probably by the end of the week.  I?m attaching a memo that explains how the raise amounts were determined, but as always, if you have questions about your particular increase, please discuss with your Area Chair or me.  One thing that?s different about this year?s letter is that you will be asked to return a signed copy.  Please do so as quickly as possible.

 

Second, I am also attaching an updated Faculty Professional Activities Report, with a request that you let me know of any items that should be included through May 31.  As this is the version that will be included in the Annual Report, please also check over the existing entries carefully, making sure they are accurate and complete.  We?ll begin the new list as of June 1, so please keep me apprised of anything that becomes ?public? over the summer, although I?ll send out a reminder in August.

 

Finally, I want to offer my apologies for not being at Commencement (wherever it may be) this year.  Our elder son is receiving his M.B.A. this weekend, and our family is gathering in Nashville to help him celebrate.  

 

Thanks to all of you for your work on behalf of Hendrix and our students. I hope, once your grades are in, that you will be able to reflect on this year with a well-deserved sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, and that you will enjoy a restorative summer.

 

Best regards,

 

Bob
