Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am pleased to announce that the search committee for the Interim Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, chaired by Professor Tim Nohe, has been formed and charged by the Provost to conduct a comprehensive and inclusive review of applicant materials. Further details on the timeline of the search and its engagement with the broader campus community will be announced shortly as the committee begins its work. We anticipate that the search committee will complete its work on or before July 24, 2020, with interviews and town halls occurring during the week of July 13, 2020.

I greatly appreciate the leadership of Professor Nohe in agreeing to chair this search and wish to express my sincere gratitude to all members of the search committee, listed below, for their engagement with, and commitment to, this important endeavor, especially in the light of the professional and personal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to complete this search during the summer months.
