On Oct. 16, Provost and Senior Vice President Patrick Phillips announced that he has launched a national search for a new dean for the College of Design, as well as a search for a vice provost of UO Libraries.

Sabrina Madison-Cannon, the Phyllis and Andrew Berwick Dean of the School of Music and Dance, will chair the College of Design search committee. 

“While these searches officially launch this term, the next few months will be dedicated to recruiting and building the candidate pools,” Phillips said in a message sent to College of Design and UO Libraries faculty members and staff. “Interviews and campus visits will likely not take place until late winter or early spring term. My hope is to have these new leaders on campus by July 1, 2020.”
