Dear category theorist - Starting September 1, Joan will be Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the State University of New York at Albany. As much as we wish her great success in this important new position, the small group of category theorists at York is very sad to see her leave. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics held a fare-well party for her yesterday at which several speakers thanked her for her many contributions to York, as a teacher, researcher and administrator. Best wishes, Joan! Walter. 11-Jun-2002 15:48:30 -0300,5026;000000000000-00000000
