Mildred Finch
Dr. Mildred ("Millie") Finch (portrayed by Kathy Najimy) is the newly appointed Chair of the CalSci Physics, Mathematics, and Astronomy Division, and an experimental neutrino astrophysicist who worked on the construction of AMANDA. She is versant in all of the Division's fields and holds an advanced mathematics degree. At first she appeared bossy and troubled Charlie Eppes and his colleagues, especially Amita Ramanujan, who is conducting research with her. She did not approve of Amita's dress code or her inappropriate relationship with her thesis advisor, but later came around. Mildred gave Amita tenure and appointed her to the curriculum committee, while (as part of their agreement) Charlie must head the admissions committee and aid in CalSci fundraising. Dr. Finch has told Charlie to publish and bonded with him.
