Dear Faculty and Librarians,

To returning faculty and librarians – welcome back to campus and happy new academic year! We hope you had a relaxing period of non-responsibility.

To our thirty-four new pre-tenure and tenured faculty, welcome to campus. It was a pleasure meeting you at the new faculty orientation.  We look forward to receiving your membership application.

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

This is the last Nuts & Bolts of the academic year.  This does not mean the FSU takes a break, we work twelve months on your behalf.  Emails to fsu@umb.edu are answered and we do work to resolve any faculty issue(s).  There may be a delay in replies as Lorenzo does take a well-earned vacation, and I also take some time away.
