Carolyn Cave came to PBS in 2006 as a Lecturer and Associate Undergraduate Advisor and worked tirelessly for the department until 2013, when she was appointed as Assistant Dean for the College of Natural Sciences. After serving in that role from 2014 – 2020, we were lucky to bring her back to PBS in 2021. For the past three years, Carolyn served as our both Principal Academic Advisor and Scheduling Representative, both demanding roles which she executed seamlessly. As the head of the advising team, Carolyn brought about many positive changes to advising that helped our 2200+ majors successfully navigate their way through UMass. As the scheduling representative, she completely redesigned the scheduling process for our 90+ courses/year. Carolyn’s attention to detail, thoughtful problem-solving style, and warm approach was noticeable in all that she did for PBS. It is hard to imagine our department without Carolyn, but we wish her well for the next phase in her life. Congratulations on your retirement, Carolyn! You will be greatly missed.
