Dean’s Message

I am honored and very pleased to be the new dean of Dyson College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Education. Beginning a new position during a pandemic has presented its challenges, but I am very impressed with all the faculty, staff, and students who I have had the pleasure of meeting virtually, as well as the limited number of individuals who I have met in-person.
