Dear Colleagues,
Please join us in a celebration of Debra Boyd’s time as Provost and Executive Vice
President for Academic Affairs of Winthrop. As you know, Debra announced her decision
to return to the faculty at the end of this academic year. A reception in her honor
will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2019, from 10-11:30 a.m. in the Tuttle Dining Room.
Throughout her many years and varied administrative positions at Winthrop including
a stint as interim president, Debra has effectively led the faculty to put student
learning and development at the center of university life. Therefore, it is fitting
she has chosen to complete her career at Winthrop where she began it, in the classroom
with students for whom she has been a steadfast advocate.
Please join me as we wish Debra well on her upcoming sabbatical and transition back
to the faculty.
Sincerely,
Dan
