This week I am attending a seminar for new deans, conducted by the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences. 48 new deans and associate deans are learning practical strategies from experienced leaders. I’m looking forward to implementing new ideas when I return to Parkside!

Great seeing you at the new dean seminar in Indianapolis. Few people have the opportunity to start a college! Wishing you all the best as you blaze that trail.

Thanks Kerry! Nice meeting you too. I hope that you have a great transition to Agnes Scott!
