Friends: Starting August 1, 2011, there will be a number of changes in the operations of the departmental office in Room 104 STC and in Jean’s
and Jackie’s responsibilities. I am asking for your cooperation in implementing these changes, your patience in dealing with the inconveniences that accompany any change in routine, and your constructive comments about how things are working.
These changes are motivated, first, by the changes in the faculty and student population at STC, including the arrival of new faculty
in condensed matter physics and astronomy; and second by the shift in funding of the office from a 50/50 split between the HEP grant and the department to the current situation in which the shop is supported 100% by the department budget.
Note that Jean ordinarily works in the STC office on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and Jackie on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
So you will need to do a little advance planning – if Jean is your support person and you bring her a job on Wednesday afternoon, understand that she may not get to it before the next Monday. If the matter is too urgent to wait, bring it to Shannon. Please
do not simply hand it to whomever is in the office and expect her to do it for you. This arrangement is a work in progress, and subject to change as we see how it’s working. Please try it out for a month or two,
and then let me know what you think. The attached pdf document contains the same information, for your reference. Roger Tobin Professor and Chair Department of Physics and Astronomy Tufts University 617-627-5461 |
