The Sloan Work and Family Research Network has recently experienced some staff changes that we would like to make our affiliates aware of. First, as mentioned in last month’s Sloan Corner, Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes and Michael Smyer will be the Co-Directors of a new Center funded by the Sloan Foundation, the Sloan Center on Workplace Flexibility, Aging, and Work at Boston College. Marcie will continue to be the Principal Investigator of the Sloan Network. Judi Casey will assist Marcie as the Director of the Network. Judi was previously the Program Director of the New England Work-Family Association and Senior Research Associate at the Center for Work & Family at Boston College.

In addition, the Sloan Network would like to introduce affiliates to Karen Corday, who recently joined the Network team as Research Associate. She will be the Editor of the Network News in addition to managing the Literature Database. Before joining the Sloan Network, Karen worked at Harvard University as a Preservation Assistant for the Weissman Preservation Center. She has a Masters of Library and Information Science from Simmons College. Karen has replaced Janet Scanlon, who has worked on the Network team for over four years. Janet has moved to Chicago and will continue to work a limited number of hours offsite for the Sloan Network.

We’d also like to call your attention to two new topic pages on our website: Phased Retirement and Overwork.

Best regards,

Marcie, Janet, Karen, Tina, and Sandee
