Dear Colleagues. In light of Dr. Jeff Varner's upcoming departure from Purdue, I have appointed Dr. Bryan Boudouris as "Director of the Professional MS Program" for our School, effective July 1, 2016. Starting now, he will become involved with all aspects of the program, particularly transitioning the responsibilities from Jeff - the overlap period between now and when Jeff leaves Purdue (July 1) nicely provides this opportunity. I thank Jeff for serving well in the Director's role for the past year. Simultaneously, I thank Bryan for accepting this position of leadership service in our School. With best wishes, Arvind Varma R.
