This issue of the Center's "Systems Newsletter" will be the last one published under the aegis of Dr. JoyceVanTassel-Baska, the Center's founder and current Executive Director. As of this August Dr. VanTassel-Baska will officially retire from the College of William and Mary and the Center. She will still be an integral part of the Center through what she has created here as well as through her continuing consulting, writing and research. It is only fitting, then, that this issue feature an interview with Dr. VanTassel-Baska about her thoughts on curriculum development, an article by her about curriculum and the Integrated Curriculum Model, as well as a brief piece on the Festschrift held in her honor at the College on March 13, 2009. This issue contains the following articles: (1) Translating the Integrated Curriculum Model Into Units of Study; (2) From the Editor; (3) Executive Director's Remarks; (4) An Interview with Dr. Joyce VanTassel-Baska; (5) Leading Change: The Festschrift of Dr. Joyce VanTassel-Baska; and (6) Dissertation Abstracts.
