The interim dean will have full authority of the deanship and responsibility for providing leadership, strategic vision and direction, and support for the college. The successful candidate must have the experience and vision to inspire, guide and facilitate a strong and diverse faculty in the advancement of high-quality teaching, research, service and extension. The interim dean must also provide leadership that assures the integrity, excellence and relevance of the college's multifaceted programs for the 21st century.
