Chancellor selection down to 3 choices

Tim Mulcahy, who spent 20 years in Madison before leaving to become vice president for research at the University of Minnesota in February of 2005, has withdrawn his name from consideration.

“I was deeply honored to be selected as one of four finalists for the position of chancellor at UW-Madison, an institution with which I have long personal and professional ties and where I count many friends and colleagues among the faculty and staff,” he said in a statement. “However, after carefully considering my personal and professional interests I made the difficult decision to withdraw my name from consideration and notified the selection committee of my decision. … In the end, my personal desire to enjoy quality time with my wife, children, and grandchildren, combined with my professional interest in advancing a wide range of initiatives I have started at the University of Minnesota, led me to this decision.”

An interesting decision this far along in the process, it was his choice to fill out an application and come interview, but he wasn’t my first choice anyways.

1 Month Anniversary

One month ago, on April 27 at 1:46 pm I made my first post on this blog. Back then I never realized how much I would enjoy blogging or how much of my life it would begin to consume. 31 days, 34 posts, 111 comments and 3,816 hits later it has exceeded all of my expectations. Now that there have been enough posts for everyone to get a good idea of what this blog is all about, I have a favor to ask of all of you. As this is my first attempt at blogging, I would like to have some reader feedback. What do you as a reader like or dislike about my blog? I’m not promising to change anything, it is my blog after all, but I would still like to hear what people think. Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Comments left on the blog or emails sent to fearlesssifting@gmail.com both work equally well. Thank you in advance for the feedback.
