Why service?
Since I started teaching at Syracuse, it has been obvious
to me that no faculty member works in a vacuum: administrative
and support services contribute important elements of our
working environment. Faculty members can contribute to the
quality of this environment through a wide range of Committees
and other voluntary activities. Over the years, the emphasis
of my service has shifted from graduate toward undergraduate
programs.
