Finalist interviews will take place in late March through mid-April. Dates and times for the public forums with each finalist will be announced soon. The goal is to name a new dean by early summer, one who can “take CEAS to the next level of success, building on its current achievements and reputation, and with a firm commitment to the college’s and the university’s values of diversity, equity, inclusion, public scholarship, and innovation,” said Moore.
“I’d like to thank Dean Adler and the committee for their dedication and extensive work in selecting our finalists to lead our nationally ranked College of Engineering and Applied Science,” Moore added.
Editor's note: Last spring’s search process did not result in a hire; this past fall, a new process was launched to arrive at this suite of finalists.
