aSernoon, Susan Byrne's candidacy for promoUon to Associate Professor

--So, Sue, "all the world" knows about this swiS and successful
outcome! Thank you for a wonderful evening. We will conUnue our
conversaUon: Think about this: It was Mary's thought: Would you like to
take your Associate Professor leave as calendar 2014 instead of academic
2014-15?
