Deans
The Deans are responsible for providing visionary leadership for their schools. They ensure the continuous accreditation of the programs within their schools and are responsible for supporting, strengthening, and advancing the diversification of a strong faculty.
The Deans serve as vital partners in the recruitment and retention of students. They are tasked with leading the faculty in promoting and strengthening innovative, student-focused teaching and engaged learning.
The Dean of each school collaborates with the Provost and each other in an academic structure designed to combine disciplinary preparation with interdisciplinary emphases, inter-professional approaches, and attention to rapidly evolving fields of study and practice.
