An interim associate dean for the College of Arts and Humanities will be appointed for two years, according to a memo from Blair Lord.
Lord, provost and vice president for academic affairs, sent the memo to faculty and staff throughout the college asking for nominations and expressions of interest by April 20. Current associate dean Jeffrey Lynch was named interim dean of the college Thursday. He will assume the position after dean James Johnson retires in June. Lord said in the memo if there were several candidates, faculty and staff could offer comments regarding them.
The search for a dean of the College of Arts and Humanities started last semester, with finalists visiting Eastern in February.
Lord announced March 24 that the search for dean would reopen this fall. Lord said in an e-mail Tuesday that the interim would provide services to the new dean for a year.
"This should allow the new dean an opportunity to determine what he/she wants in an associate dean and time to actually run a search process to identify such an individual," he said.
