I am pleased to announce that, following a campus-wide search, Professor Fiona Doyle has accepted appointment to the position of Dean of the Graduate Division.  Fiona will begin her new role on January 1, 2015.  She brings an abundance of campus leadership experience to this position, as well as extensive administrative experience in her many roles at the College of Engineering.  As the Chancellor and I believe that the importance of fundraising will only grow, she will also bring strengths in this crucial area, building on the excellent work of her predecessors in the Graduate Division.
