From the Desk of Janet Kuser Fisher College is pleased to announce a new academic structure, which reflects the continued growth of our academic offerings and our solid positioning as a baccalaureate institution. The new structure replaces the previous two academic divisions with four schools. These schools have been selected to purposely align programs, resources, and faculty within academic units. With the approval of our fourth and fifth bachelor’s degrees this fall, and a sixth degree on the horizon, the time was right to take this major step in support of our strategic goals and vision. Following represents the new academic structure: School of Management and Communications School of Liberal Arts and Sciences School of Social Sciences and Human Services School of Health Professions Dr. Neil Trotta has been promoted to Dean, in the Division of Accelerated and Professional Studies (formerly known as the Division of Continuing Education) and the School of Health Professions. The remaining three schools will be led by Dr. Tunde Turi-Markovic, Assistant Dean, School of Social Sciences and Human Services; Dr. Michael Meadows, Assistant Dean, School of Management and Communications, and Dr. Dean Walton, Assistant Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
