Search committee for dean is appointed

 

A 14-member search committee has been named to seek a replacement for Willard D. Rowland Jr., former dean of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Rowland recently resigned the dean's position and is on a leave of absence from the faculty to take an appointment as president and general manager of public television station KBDI-TV in Denver.

Stewart Hoover, professor of journalism and mass communication, is currently serving as interim dean of the School.

The committee, chaired by Todd Gleeson, associate vice chancellor for faculty affairs, will begin with a national search that will include internal candidates. The committee's goal is to hire a new dean for the School by fall.

The School is one of only two accredited programs in its field in Colorado, and is the only one in the state to offer a full, integrated range of undergraduate and graduate studies.
Following are members of the search committee:

Mark Andrejevic, journalism doctoral student; Robert Craig, associate professor, department of Communications; Stewart Hoover, interim dean; Phil Karsh, community representative; Kathryn Lavin, senior News-Editorial major; Patricia Meyers, School staff member; Ed Otte, executive director, Colorado Press Association; and SJMC associate professors Andrew Calabrese, Janice Peck, Patricia Raybon, David Slayden, Jan Whitt and Tom Yulsman.

The committee welcomes nominations, inquiries and applications. Applicants should send a detailed vita, plus names of three references including their mailing addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses to: Chair, Dean's Search Committee, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Campus Box 485, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0485.
