Fermilab remains the leading laboratory for high energy physics research
in the United States. As such, it acts as the scientific focal point for
a large community of University based "users". I have seen the lab from
the inside (as a Lederman Fellow from 1992-1995) and out (as a Michigan
faculty member since 1995). I have come to view this rich community of
users as the lab's greatest strength. As a member of the UEC I would
work to help the lab to be responsive to the needs of this user
community. Particular challenges in the coming years include the
successful completion of Run-II, including thorough analysis of the
data, support for the gradual shift of focus to the LHC, and planning
for new directions. These include traditional activities like neutrino
physics and the ILC as well as new directions, such as dark matter and
dark energy experiments.
