Dean of Students
search will continue
The search for a Vice President of Students and Dean of Students will continue after preferred candidate Tom Dubreuil declined the position.
In a campus-wide email sent last Thursday, President Crutcher said that Associate Dean of Students Jack Kuszaj will serve as Interim Dean. Current chair of the search committee, Dean of Admission Gail Berson, will chair next year's search committee.
"Finding a successor for this position is too important to rush,"?Crutcher wrote.
He said the "strength of the Student Life team," combined with Kuszaj's experience, will make up for the vacancy left by Dean Sue Alexander.
