Broadly speaking, the CEHHS Dean provides strategic leadership and administrative oversight for the college with regard to student success and degree completion, fostering academic excellence and supporting faculty development, faculty recruitment and retention, fiscal management and resource development, academic program vitality and sustainability, strategic planning, personnel management, and college engagement and representation on campus and in the community. Additionally, the Dean is expected to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment that that honors and supports shared governance, encourages transparency in decision making, and that is characterized by communication and collaboration.
