I also wish to congratulate Jane Ira Bloom, Professor of Jazz and Contemporary Music, The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, who successfully completed the review for promotion to full professor.

Promotion reviews are an important means by which the university acknowledges the achievements and contributions of our faculty and builds a stronger academic community. I extend my appreciation to all the faculty members who participated on review committees at the divisional or university level and to the administrators in the divisions and the provost’s office who facilitated and coordinated the reviews. It is a considerable undertaking, and your commitment of time as well as your wisdom, seriousness, and high standards are so important and very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
