On behalf of the Search Committee, I am proud to announce that three outstanding Dean of Neag
of Education candidates will be visiting campus in the coming days, and I write to invite
you to attend the upcoming public forums, where each candidate will make a brief presentation
about their views on what makes Schools of Education most successful, what sorts of things
Schools of Education should emphasize, how they can attain and maintain success and
prominence in research, teaching, and service, what the major challenges in the field of
Education are, and what unique contribution Schools of Education can make. They will also tell
us how they believe their background and skills position them to be dean. Most of the forum will
be dedicated to conversation with those in attendance. Public participation is essential to the
interview process, and I, on behalf of the Provost, request your attendance at these forums and
your subsequent feedback.
Candidate CVs, feedback surveys, and links to the recorded public forums, if you are unable to attend, are available here. Please note that users will need to log in with a NETID and password to access the candidate materials.
