DEPARTMENT & FACULTY NEWS
 |
|
| The unexpected snowstorm in February made it Seattle’s snowiest month in 50 years, but the department continued to be busy with various presentations, conferences, and other events. In other department news, our administrative assistant Sophie Wiseman sadly left us at the beginning of March to relocate to Oregon. She has loved her time with ISOM, and wishes the department all the success in the future! |
