March 2002  

Dear Colleagues,

Greetings and good wishes for renewed spirits as we draw closer to spring. Please join me in extending hearty congratulations this month to Don A. Dillman, winner of the Washington State University 2002 Eminent Faculty Award, and to Fran McSweeney, recipient of the Sahlin Faculty Excellence Award for Research, Scholarship and the Arts. Both Don and Fran exemplify the best that our college has to offer to the community of scholars across the globe who pursue new knowledge. I hope that you will join them in celebration at the University’s Faculty Honors Convocation on April 4, also the date of the rededication of newly renovated Kimbrough Hall.

Sadly, last month brought the passing of Grover Krantz, professor emeritus in the Department of Anthropology. Professor Krantz was teaching a class until just a few days before he died. Bill Andrefsky, department chair, noted the great care that Grover had expressed for his students as he turned over their work to a colleague. We will miss greatly this devoted teacher and scholar.

We continue to be concerned about our projected budget for next year. President Rawlins and our governmental relations team have worked diligently to persuade legislators that we must maintain funding to support quality and, likewise, Provost Bates has expressed his intent to preserve the integrity of our academic programs. Our college department chairs and program directors together with their faculty have prepared five-year plans that promise a vital future for the college. Last month our Dean’s Advisory Committee on Resource Allocation reviewed all of these plans, as well as annual productivity assessments, completed by our programs and departments. These plans, the input of our College Administrative Leadership Team and the evaluations of our Resource Allocation Committee will shape the Liberal Arts area plan to be submitted to our provost on May 1. The recent commitment of our president and provost to maintain quality through giving priority to faculty hiring during the announced statewide freeze will help assure that these plans stay on course.

On March 28 in my annual address to the college, I will present an update on our progress in attaining the goals of our college strategic plan and provide highlights of the area plan for AY 2002-2003. I hope that you will join me and your colleagues by participating in the discussion to follow the address. Likewise, I invite you to join us on March 29 as we acknowledge recent scholarly and artistic accomplishments of our faculty at the spring Authors’ Recognition Ceremony to be held at 3:30 p.m. in the Bundy Reading Room.

Finally, we say “Bravo!” to the faculty and students of our Music department who once again took top honors at the Lionel Hampton Music Festival (see this page for details). I thank them and all of you for your continued dedication to excellence in scholarship, teaching, creative work and service.

Barbara Couture
Dean, College of Liberal Arts

A Thomas S. Foley Distinguished Professor of Government and Public Policy in the Departments of Sociology and Rural Sociology, Dillman is recognized internationally as a major contributor to the development of modern mail and telephone survey methods. His book Mail and Telephone Surveys: The Total Design Method was the first to provide detailed procedures for conducting surveys by these methods.

He provided leadership for the development of new questionnaire designs and procedures for the 2000 Decennial Census and other government surveys.

A faculty member at WSU since 1974, McSweeney is known for her fundamental work on behavior and reinforcement, which helps with the understanding of learning and other human behaviors. Nominators say one of her discoveries has broad implications for the study of learning, motivation and animal behavior that may cause theories of complex human behavior to be modified. McSweeney is a Smith College graduate and earned her master of science and doctoral degrees from Harvard University.
