As we are preparing this week's newsletter, powerful Hurricane Rita is bearing down on the Texas coastline. Awesome Stories offers a feature on "Galveston: The Great Storm of 1900" that can help students understand the vulnerability of this area of the Texas coast and why the historic 1900 storm caused such a disastrous loss of life. The AW story includes links to primary sources from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and the Rosenberg Library in Galveston.

MISSION STATEMENT The University's fundamental mission is the advancement and dissemination of knowledge and understanding. As a leading European centre of academic excellence, the University's core strategic objectives are: to sustain and develop its identity as a research and teaching institution of the highest international quality; to provide an outstanding educational environment, supporting study across a broad range of academic disciplines and serving the major professions; to produce graduates equipped for high personal and professional achievement; and to enhance the scientific and cultural vision of society as well as its economic well-being. As a great civic University, Edinburgh especially values its intellectual and economic relationship with the Scottish community that forms its base and provides the foundation from which it will continue to look to the widest international horizons, enriching both itself and Scotland. B. STRATEGIC OVERVIEW
E3 CHAIRS In the event that fund raising efforts might fall short of such an ambitious fund raising potential are fully considered in a careful planning process. http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infoprov/Handbook/chairs.html
Extractions: The establishment of academic Chairs at the University of Waterloo can serve to recognize faculty members of exceptional academic distinction, and provide incremental resources to strengthen research and teaching programs in their areas of expertise. Opportunities exist to create NSERC/Industry Chairs, Chairs associated with the Centres of Excellence funded by government, and endowed Chairs. A major limitation to NSERC/Industry and Centres of Excellence Chairs is short-term (5-year) funding. Applicants must plan from the outset to fold any incremental positions into the faculty complement when this funding is phased out. NSERC/Industry Chairs may therefore be considered only to provide seed funding to strengthen areas in which the University wishes to pursue further development. Endowed Chairs can provide the security of long-term financial resources, but a very substantial endowment is necessary in order to accommodate inflationary increases over the years. In the event that fund raising efforts might fall short of such an ambitious target, there must be contingency plans in place to make the best use of available funds. When establishing a Chair, the University's commitment to the discipline must first be determined, and the feasibility of the long-term plan must be assessed. Then, if all indicators are positive, it will be important to plan and monitor the fund raising phase carefully, and to co-ordinate the efforts of the researchers, the Faculty, the Office of Development, and the Office of Research.

This message brings to your attention two initiatives which the University is undertaking to commemorate Sally's remarkable career at the University and to create a lasting memory of her work for the benefit of future students. There will be a memorial event open to all present and past members of the University to celebrate Sally's many contributions to life in Leeds. This will take place at 3 pm on 12 May in the Great Hall and will be followed by a reception in the Parkinson Court. There will be speeches by Sally's friends, colleagues and family and music by the Leeds Sinfonia, in which Sally was a violinist. Throughout her career Sally was an inspiration to students at all levels. This was never more true than in recent years when she was the driving force behind the rapid development of the Sustainability Research Institute. The University has therefore decided to raise funds to create studentships and scholarships in memory of Sally. These will help overseas and home students to study environmental issues to which Sally contributed so much during her career. We aim through this fund raising initiative to create postgraduate studentships or bursaries and undergraduate prizes. All members of the University are invited to contribute to this

Extractions: Approved by the Strategic Planning Advisory Group STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA COLLEGE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE October 27, 1999 VISION STATEMENT AND INTRODUCTION Our vision is that the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine be in the top tier of veterinary colleges in the nation by the year 2010. The College (at 50 years of age) is relatively young and has real potential to achieve excellence. Two goals are proposed to attain greater excellence over the next 10 years. These are: 1) to restore and enhance the environment for state-of-the-art veterinary clinical science and practice and 2) to increase research productivity. The rationale for these goals is based on an assessment of where the College now ranks and the external and internal forces affecting it. Where do we now rank among the 27 schools and colleges of veterinary medicine in the United States* In some ways we are the best in the nation. Certain of our programs are internationally acclaimed, and many faculty are likewise renown. Strengths * Faculty excellence. Seven College faculty members have received the UGA Josiah Meigs teaching award. Two of our faculty have been recognized nationally with awards for teaching. In addition, we have many faculty who are internationally recognized experts in their areas of research, including diseases of poultry, caged birds, fish, wildlife, companion animals, and horses. The majority of our faculty hold the DVM or equivalent degree, and 56% have PhD*s.

Student Life PDF version of this chapter Los Angeles was little more than a frontier town in the 1870s, when a group of public-spirited citizens with a reverence for learning first sought to establish a university in the region. Although the "city" still lacked paved streets, electric lights, telephones and a reliable fire alarm system, the effort to create an institution of higher education in Southern California, led by members of the region's Methodist Episcopal Conference, found an enthusiastic reception among the more far-sighted residents, who were eager to advance their community. In 1879, three community leaders Ozro W. Childs, a Protestant horticulturist; former California Governor John G. Downey, an Irish-Catholic businessman; and Isaias W. Hellman, a German-Jewish banker and philanthropist deeded to the Board of Trustees of the nascent University of Southern California 308 lots, which were located in an area designated "West Los Angeles," near the intersection of Vermont Avenue and Exposition Boulevard. A portion of the land, which was located within the original land grant establishing "El Pueblo de la Reina de Los Angeles," was to be reserved for the actual campus. Sales of the remaining lots would create an endowment to provide the seeds of financial support for the institution. More than an act of generosity, the gift of land was an expression of confidence in the future. Era of the Founders (1880-1921)
