>Dear Dr. Jurewicz,
How are you? How is everything going? It was nice of you to send me this
announcement. What's going on at UCF? It is a very nice school and Diane
Jacobs seems to have a good administrative, business and sponsored research
head on her shoulders.
If were still at FAU I would applied, but I am here too short a period of
time to consider leaving. I believe Dr. Walsh and the University of Florida
staff have invested time, effort and energy in helping me to settle in and
get acclaimated here. So, I am committed to doing the best job I can for
some time at UF.
How are the DSR staff? How is Dr. Goldberger settling in? Did you receive
the conflict of interest policy I sent? It took some time as it was in our
attorney's office for review and it is still in draft form although we are
following the policy.
Have to go. Great to hear from you.
See you in November at the Director's meeting.
Sandy
