To Members of the
Mount Holyoke College Community

I am very pleased that the Staff Council and Human Resources Department have come together to produce this first issue of The Source.  The decision to publish a newsletter specifically targeted toward staff came after much discussion about the need and desire to more actively promote the achievements and accomplishments of staff at Mount Holyoke College.  I applaud the Council's efforts in this
regard. 

The two primary goals of The Source are to provide information and updates on campus activities and to be a forum for specifically highlighting staff achievement. 

Mount Holyoke is very fortunate to have a very talented and dedicated staff.  Many
people are working very hard to accomplish all the work that must get done in support of Mount Holyoke's mission, and sometimes the efforts of some are not recognized as readily because work is often accomplished "behind the scenes. " The Source welcomes, in fact needs input from members of the community.  You will note that many members of the community have contributed to the content of this issue.  I hope you enjoy reading this first
issue of The Source and that you will
consider contributing as a writer or suggesting your ideas for future issues.
