Dean of Liberal Arts & Business Search Update

I would like to thank April Daniels and Ryan Messenger, Committee Co-Chairs of our search for the Dean, Liberal Arts & Business, position. My gratitude also extends to the search committee members for their service and dedication to this important endeavor. The considerable time and effort invested over the past months are truly appreciated. 

Following careful consideration, it has been determined that the recent search has failed. The College remains committed to filling this essential leadership position, and next steps are underway to engage in a new search.  

Dr. Catharine Ganze-Smith has graciously agreed to continue serving as Acting Dean, Liberal Arts & Business, while we prepare for and conduct the forthcoming search. I thank all those involved thus far and will share regular updates as we move forward.
