On May 12th, there will be a Einstein Board of Overseers meeting prior to the anticipated transition. The Speaker will provide an annual report from the Senate at that time. Following the transition, the new Board will be constituted with 75% designated by Montefiore and 25% designated by Yeshiva University.

The town hall meetings have taken place. There will continue to be updates provided as the transition process continues and feedback to help improve the transition process is welcomed. It is planned that the COM, Inc designation should rapidly be changed to the Albert Einstein College of Medicine once the transition agreement has been signed. Once the agreement is finalized, there are anticipated future searches for chairs of Medicine and Neuroscience as well as Cancer Center Director, and currently available space will be important as part of their recruitment packages.

The meeting adjourned at 3:59 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Jeffrey E. Segall, Ph.D.
Speaker, Einstein Senate
