Dear Members of the UMBC Community,
I am writing to announce the start of a national search for UMBC’s new Dean of The Erickson School who will replace Dean Judah Ronch who will have served in that positions with distinction for the past eight years. This search will begin immediately and continue through this academic year with the intent of appointing the new Dean by July 1, 2018.
Dr. Antonio Moreira, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs, has kindly agreed to chair the search committee. Under the leadership of Dr. Moreira, I have appointed a search committee to assist the university in identifying our new Dean, and we have engaged the services of executive search firm Storbeck/Pimentel to assist the committee in its work. The names of the members of the committee are listed below, each of whom has my sincere gratitude for agreeing to take on this critical institutional responsibility.
The committee will share with the UMBC community the progress of the search over the coming weeks and months and will seek input and feedback. I know that each of us will do what we can to support the committee towards the successful completion of this important task.
