Why service?

Since I started teaching at Syracuse, it has been obvious to me that no faculty member works in a vacuum: administrative and support services contribute important elements of our working environment. Faculty members can contribute to the quality of this environment through a wide range of Committees and other voluntary activities. Over the years, the emphasis of my service has shifted from graduate toward undergraduate programs.
