FAS Dean’s Office

The FAS Dean’s Office oversees faculty searches, recruitment, hiring, mentoring, promotions, retentions, and compensation for all ladder, instructional, and research faculty in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, as well as departmental staffing, budgeting, strategic planning, and policies and practices throughout the FAS.

As depicted in our organizational chart, some positions in the FAS Dean’s Offce are held by ladder faculty, some by career administrators holding advanced degrees, and others by dedicated administrative staff. Our office has also been privileged to serve as a host for a series of Woodbridge Fellows.

We have additional pages detailing our divisional governance structure and a breakdown of how roles and responsibilities are distributed within the FAS Dean’s Office.
