Dear Dornsife College Community, We are beginning the process of assembling the search advisory committee that will identify and recruit the next dean of the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. I am seeking your confidential nominations of Dornsife faculty and staff who should serve on this committee. The committee will be co-chaired by Pinchas Cohen, Davis School of Gerontology and Paula Cannon, Keck School of Medicine.
I am grateful to them for serving in this role. USC Dornsife provides our students with a distinctive 21st century liberal arts education infused with our West Coast entrepreneurial spirit. The faculty pushes the boundaries of knowledge and innovation, heading up the charge of inquiry and discovery. The school holds a pivotal position in our university community, making the selection of the next dean a top priority. Our aim is to move quickly to find a capable, forward-thinking, and adaptable leader suited for this role. Please send your committee recommendations to uscprovost@usc.edu by September 10, 2024.
We will announce the search advisory committee and keep the USC Dornsife community abreast of the process. Thank you for your participation and support of the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. I look forward to your recommendations.
Sincerely,
Andrew T. Guzman
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
