This article describes my experiences when I served as Interim Dean for Liberal Arts and Sciences during the 2001-02 academic year. While I had to expand my knowledge base of disciplines other than chemistry, there were many similarities in my interactions with colleagues, chairpersons, faculty, and students from previous experience as a faculty member and chairperson. Although I had less direct contact with students, I was still working towards the same goals as the faculty in providing the best educational experience for our students.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
