Dear 51°µÍøans,
I am delighted to report that we have successfully concluded our national search for the new dean of College of the 51°µÍø. Please join me in welcoming Dean Lee Skinner of Tulane University to the 51°µÍø family.
Dr. Skinner comes to us with an extraordinary record of student-centric leadership. She currently serves as dean of Newcomb-Tulane College at Tulane, where she is focused on the success of the university’s 8,000 undergraduate students and works to enhance faculty-student connections and create inclusive and diverse learning environments.
