I just wanted to comment on how good it felt to read Professor Ervin's
statement that graduate students are to be "enticed" and that our profession
is "open to and interested in promoting ... many possible career avenues."
It is very important for young scholars to hear these kinds of statements
from senior faculty as we attempt to enter what can be a gruelling and
intimidating job search process which, hopefully for many of us, will lead
to employment.

Thank you Professor Ervin!
