- Letter from the Director
><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<><<<<>

On Monday we were pleased to host Geraldine Downey, Columbia's new
Vice Provost for Diversity initiatives - she met with our Women's
Forum and with several of our Associate Directors and myself to
discuss hopes and plans for increasing diversity - both by gender
and ethnicity - on our campus.

Langseth sailed from Galveston on Wednesday on the first of several
short 'shake-down' legs in the Gulf of Mexico. John Diebold is
Chief Scientist and we wish him every success in bringing the
complex and challenging data collection systems on this powerful
new vessel into routine operation.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving with friends and family
and enjoyed the beautiful warm weather this year.

Please help us with getting a reasonable estimate of the number of
folks who plan to attend the Geochemistry building ribbon cutting
at 3pm on Friday 30th - take a moment to RSVP to
events@ldeo.columbia.edu - thanks.

And finally - check out the opening of our latest art display in
the cafeteria - Monday 26th at 4pm.

Have a great weekend,

Mike
