This position offers a unique opportunity to provide strategic leadership for the newly created College of Public Affairs. The College, formed in July 2010 and comprised of the School of Public and International Affairs, the School of Health and Human Services, the School of Criminal Justice, and the Schaefer Center for Public Policy, offers baccalaureate, masters' and doctoral degree programs. The Dean will lead the College's transformation to an expanded, enhanced College of Public Affairs, ushering in a new phase of academic program expansion and enrollment growth.
