Dean Bosworth in his last Fletcher year

Blog readers may already have picked up on this news from other sources, but I feel I should still mention that Fletcher Dean Stephen Bosworth has announced that he will retire at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year. Eleven years as dean is a good long stretch, particularly given that Dean Bosworth wore two hats for several years (the second hat being Special Representative for North Korea policy — exhausting travel included).  There will, of course, be a search for his replacement, though I haven’t heard any details yet.  For those who might wonder how this will affect Fletcher, I think it’s fair to say that business will carry on as usual, both this year and next.
