The Dean provides academic, intellectual, and administrative leadership of the Pardee School and promotes excellence in all aspects of the School’s teaching, research, and outreach missions. The next Dean will lead the ongoing development of the vision, goals, and strategies of the Pardee School, and will lead efforts to cooperate and collaborate with critical partners internal and external to the university.
