Director's Message

Dear members of the REEI community, 

As we wrap up another semester and put the spring 2021 issue of the REEIfication newsletter to bed, I am amazed at the energy and accomplishments of REEI’s affiliated faculty, staff, visiting scholars, and students. The COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges for research, teaching, and work-life balance, not to mention physical and mental health. Our affiliates have gone above and beyond the call of duty this semester to support REEI’s mission to advance instruction and research on the REE region at IU and beyond, and we are very grateful. Thank you especially to the members of the REEI Executive Committee, Admissions Committee, Fellowships Committee, and Armstrong Prize Committee for your service! Your expertise and energy have been vital to moving REEI forward and helping us continue to improve our program.
