[pccgrads] Reminder! Your PCC Director Nominations needed-accepted until Monday Nov 17

[Miriam Bertram via Pcc_all via pccgrads]

Dear PCC Community,

Please take a moment, perhaps now, to nominate one or more people for the
role of PCC Director.  Also, nominee names are great but providing context
for why the candidate(s) should be considered would help the committee a
great deal.  Nominations will be accepted until Monday November 17.

Thank you!

------------------------
The College of the Environment is in the process of selecting the next
Director of the Program on Climate Change. Becky Alexander accepted the
position of Interim Chair of Atmospheric and Climate Science this spring
and our interim director, Kyle Armour, will serve through December. We aim
to have a permanent PCC director beginning in Winter 2026.

The interim Dean of the College of the Environment, Joel Thornton, has
assembled a search committee of T.J. Fudge (ESS, lead), Miriam Bertram (PCC
Staff), Alison Gray (OCN), Becky Alexander (ATM), and Tara Kalia (OCN
graduate student).

Your input is of value to this process! Please take a quick moment to come
up with a couple of UW faculty you think would do a great job.
Self-nominations are also very welcome. The goal here is to cast a wide net
and find the best candidates, It is also important that the Dean sees that
the PCC is a vibrant and active program. Your participation in providing
nominations is a measure of that vibrancy. If you find it hard to think of
names, you can also send us your views on what is important in this search.
Nominations and suggestions should be submitted to Miriam in the PCC office
(uwpcc at uw.edu), and can be kept anonymous upon request. Nominees will be
asked to answer a short series of questions about their vision for the PCC
moving forward. The search committee is tasked with making recommendations
to the Dean, who will then negotiate
with potential directors.

Please do express your enthusiasm and support for the PCC, and take that
moment now, today, or as soon as possible. *Nominations will be accepted
until Monday November 17.*

A description of the current director responsibilities is attached.

Thank you in advance for helping,

T.J., Miriam, Tara, Alison and Becky
