On-campus interviews of the finalists for the next dean of the College of Business will begin in early April.
In a recent memo to Business college faculty and staff, the search committee co-chairs -- College of Human Sciences dean Pamela White and associate provost for faculty Dawn Bratsch-Prince -- said they anticipate that a new dean will be named before the end of spring semester.
The co-chairs note that the search produced an "excellent pool" of 50 applicants representing a wide array of experiences and expertise.
The search committee and senior vice president and provost Jonathan Wickert interviewed semifinalists off campus earlier this week. Finalists may be named yet this week. Updates will be posted on the faculty/staff announcements page.
