The past year has been eventful and successful for us, in both our classrooms and our research laboratories. Our professors and instructional staff are among the highest rated in the College, and our faculty research groups have excelled with impactful scholarship. At the broader institutional level, President Helble and Provost Urban have assembled the Lehigh community in a strategic planning process, and Dean Flowers has led the design of a new liberal arts curriculum for the College of Arts and Sciences. Our department is integral to the success of the college and university, and we have interfaced with the various committees associated with these initiatives to help them succeed. At the beginning of 2022, Dr. Hannah Cronk was promoted to Professor of Practice and now holds the title Teaching Assistant Professor. Dr. Andy Ho also has a new title, Teaching Associate Professor. Congratulations to them both! We also said farewell to our Faculty Coordinator, Mary Roberson, who accepted a new position closer to family in Ohio. Many of you got to know Mary as the editor and key contact person for Mudd in Your Eye, and we wish her the very best in her new Midwestern adventure. It took some time with the tight labor market, but I am delighted to introduce you to our current Faculty Coordinator, Lisa Arechiga. And at the end of 2022, Professor Steve Regen closed a chapter in his long and distinguished career and opened a new one as Emeritus Professor. Steve moved to Lehigh in 1985 from Marquette University, and his innovative and productive research program has enhanced the visibility of our department for decades. We appreciate his positive impact and look forward to periodic updates in the years to come. Welcome Spring!
