CU Boulder Provost Russell Moore is soliciting nominations for the School of Education’s dean search advisory committee, to be chaired by Katherine Eggert, vice chancellor and senior vice provost for academic planning and assessment. Nominations and self-nominations for the search committee are due by March 31.
“We are seeking search committee members who understand how higher education landscapes are changing, who are well-integrated into the school’s commitment to inclusion and equity, and who understand the importance of the school’s vitality and interconnectedness with the CU Boulder campus and the communities associated with it,” said Moore.
The search advisory committee will be composed of faculty, staff and students from the School of Education, along with representatives from other academic units. The committee’s role is to generate a strong pool of candidates and advise the provost of those candidates best qualified to meet the needs of the School of Education and the university.
The provost plans to seat the committee in mid-April and launch a national search during the summer with the goal of naming a new dean in early 2025.
All classified staff, university staff and––newly added to Staff Council––professional research assistants and research associates at CU Boulder should have received a unique voting link in your colorado.edu email address on Tuesday, March 5.
