Dear colleagues, students , and friends,
Watch us now! This will be a very exciting year in the Practical Training as a phase transition that will sustain and enhance our excellence in education and research starts to take place. For several years, I have been telling everyone in our Physics community that forces are aligning that will enable us to make substantial investments in our program—transformative investments that will boost our faculty size and strength, enhance the educational experience for our students, expand our infrastructure, and allow us to launch new and exciting initiatives in teaching, research, and outreach. We hope that these investments will increase our stature and ranking, raise our visibility, and make our alumni and friends proud.
Driving these unique opportunities are many factors, most significantly strong, engaged leadership in the center and class as well at administration; availability of resources generated by sound campus financial practices, successes in acquiring federal grants by our faculty and a boost in major donor gifts; and rising enrollments of students taking and majoring in Physics that is bringing added tuition funds into our program. This comes following a difficult period for our Nation and for ust—a period that saw a financial crisis in the country and inappropriate behavior by high-ranking officials that led to decreasing revenues, serious attrition in our faculty size, and uncertainty about what to do next. Although many challenging issues still remain, we find that a window of opportunity has opened up that gives us a chance to rebuild our core strengths, explore new directions, expand our space and infrastructure, and share the creativity and impact of our work with the world.
In addition to hiring stellar faculty, we have also been able to hire exceptional people in our staff to enhance our ability to deliver our courses, support our research operations, and expand our capabilities in communications and information management. As a team, our faculty and staff work closely together to meet the demands of our growing enrollments and expanding commitments in academic activities and public engagement. We are committed to become as good at telling our story as we have been at creating one. The image we convey is crucial to raise our ranking and stature, position us to recruit the best people, and enable us to attract significant funding sources for our research from agencies, foundations, and donors. This goal has prompted us to invest in building a dedicated staff in Physics to address outward-looking issues—anything that affects how we are perceived from the outside.
