It is with mixed feelings that I announce the appointment of Professor Charles Waldheim of the Daniels Faculty, as Chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, commencing July 1, 2009. We thank Professor Waldheim for his exemplary service as faculty member, as Director of the Landscape Architecture program, and as Associate Dean here at the Daniels Faculty. His contributions to the Faculty will be sorely missed, but we wish him well in his future career.

George Baird
Dean
