Dear Colleagues,

I am writing to inform that Diane Klassen, our School’s Director of Development, will leave to become Senior Director of Development, University Initiatives – it is a significant promotion.   Diane joined us on August 8, 2011 and together we raised large sum of funds for many School needs, particularly endowed chairs and unrestricted endowments.  She leaves us with a terrific record of fund-raising accomplishments.  Her last work day in our School will be August 9.

Please join me in wishing Diane the very best for the future.

Best,

Arvind
