Welcome to both new and returning faculty and students. On August 1, I began service as the interim dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited for the start of my first semester as interim dean, and\u00a0I feel optimistic about\u2014and energized by\u2014the opportunities ahead of us this coming year.\u00a0 I look forward to maintaining our collective momentum in advancing the goals of the College over the next year.<\/p>\n
I want to thank Dean Cudd for her thoughtful and bold leadership the past three years. She led CAS forward with a clarity of purpose\u2014crafting experiential education opportunities for undergraduates, breaking fundraising records, bolstering need-based scholarships, championing diversity and inclusion, ushering in new facilities, and strengthening key areas of research and learning.\u00a0She will be greatly missed, and I congratulate her on her new role as Provost of the University of Pittsburgh.\u00a0 The search for the next dean of CAS will start soon, as announced by Provost Morrison<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0outlined in the Faculty Handbook<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n The Dean\u2019s Corner on our website provides a forum for postings from the CAS Dean on important issues and current topics. I\u2019d expect my postings to this corner will be less frequent than the previous dean\u2019s, but I very much look forward to sharing my thoughts here over the upcoming school year.\u00a0 In the meantime, I invite you to read the archive of past postings in the Dean\u2019s Corner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sincerely, Welcome to both new and returning faculty and students. On August 1, I began service as the interim dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited for the start of my first semester as interim dean, and\u00a0I feel optimistic about\u2014and energized by\u2014the opportunities ahead of us this coming year.… More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5697,"featured_media":0,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/deans-corner\/30962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/deans-corner"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/r_cas_dean_post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5697"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cas\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
