Every new associate dean begins believing they’ll be different, they’ll stay faculty, they won’t be sucked into false faculty-admin dichotomies, Then they break when they realize no faculty will ever really value their support. I am here to mentor and help speed along the process

To increase grant funding, we just created a new associate dean position. We filled it with someone who has never gotten a grant but we think she’ll be great. Before you submit, please make sure she has read and approved your proposal.
