Community Feedback on CAHSS Interim Dean Candidates

Fri, 17 Jul 2020 10:24:44 -0400

Dear UMBC Community,

I write to provide an update on the search process for the Interim Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS), and to invite the participation of the campus community.

The search committee wishes to thank those who attended Open Fora for Dr. John Stolle-McAllister and Dr. Kimberly Moffitt. Both of these events were recorded and are now available online:

Open Forum with Dr. John Stolle-McAllister (July 14) may be viewed here.
Open Forum with Dr. Kimberly Moffitt (July 16) may be viewed here.

Additionally, CVs for the candidates are available here.

We invite the campus community to provide feedback and comments on the candidates and their presentations. All submitted responses will be recorded anonymously. Please provide your feedback by Monday, July 20, at 12 p.m.

Comment form for Dr. John Stolle-McAllister is available here.
Comment form for Dr. Kimberly Moffitt is available here.

Both candidates presented in Fora and were interviewed by CAHSS Chairs and Directors and the Search Committee. These interactions and submitted feedback from the Open Fora and Chairs and Directors will be assessed with rubrics developed in partnership with STRIDE Fellows and the Office of the Provost.

The Search Committee will now begin deliberations to prepare separate written reports to be submitted to the Provost and President on July 24 that will include an unranked assessment for each candidate based on a comprehensive review of applicant materials, individual interviews conducted by the committee, and feedback obtained from the campus and college community during the course of the search process.

We will continue to provide updates to the campus community. Please note that the appointment of the Interim Dean will be for a period of one year, with the possibility of an extension if the search for a permanent dean has not been completed.
