Welcome from Dean Downie
Dear Colleagues,
I hope you are having a productive and restorative summer. I'm just getting settled into my new role in the dean's office and am excited about the new challenges and opportunities we can engage in together. If you have any comments and ideas you would like to share with me, please do so at ccasres@gwu.edu.
I look forward to working with you all as Associate Dean for Research and Strategic Initiatives.
Best wishes,
Evie Downie
