As a critical part of the search process, the search committee seeks input from the campus community on ideal qualities and qualifications for the new dean, current issues and priorities that could help set the agenda for the new dean, and any other information or insight that will help guide the committee’s efforts. If you are interested in providing input to the committee, please contact Traci Considine, manager of executive searches in the Office of the Chancellor (310-206-8003), or write to tconsidine@conet.ucla.edu. All input, inquiries, nominations and applications will be held in strict confidence.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
