Dear Members of the Brandeis community,
I am delighted to announce that after an exhaustive search that generated more than 40 applications from across the country, Matthew Sheehy will be the new Brandeis University Librarian. As detailed by the search committee, Matthew stood out among a large and highly qualified group of applicants. His background, experience, work with other universities, and management skills all make him more than qualified to take on this position in a permanent capacity.

Please join me in congratulating Matthew on this appointment!
Best regards,
Lisa M. Lynch
