  1. Less than two weeks until pool review begins (applications encouraged by Dec 7). This is a fantastic opportunity spurred by a faculty-led working group, which researched and developed a draft charter that went through university governance and has garnered strong support from provost, president, and legal counsel. Resources are committed to the development of the office. Questions or nominations can be sent to me at amyhogan@vt.edu.
