September 30: The Pamplin Pulse
From the Desk of Associate Dean of Transformation, Janice Branch Hall
Colleagues, I hope you are well and having a great start of the fall semester. At last week's town hall meeting, Dean Sarker announced the evolution of Pamplin's DEIB operations with the formation of the Office of Transformation. I am writing to provide further context about this exciting new chapter.
Over the last five years during my time serving Pamplin, I have observed several cultural shifts - from leadership transitions including the arrival of our new dean to external factors such as growing enrollments, new facilities, and evolving people trends. These shifts have informed the direction of our work and, whether we feel ready or not, we find ourselves in unprecedented times. However, I believe this is a moment for, alignment, that positions us to strengthen our 3R philosophy - Resources, Reputation, Responsibility - while working toward our vision of Next-Gen Pamplin.
