Hi All – I’m serving on this search committee, and I am wondering if any of you might be interested in this remarkably attractive position.  I took up an endowed chair at Loyola in Fall 2008, and I can assure you that I’ve been very happy in my new position.  If you might be interested or if you know of someone who would be, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me – [log in to unmask] is the best address to use.  All best, Diana

FARRELL CHAIR
