ICFAD is a vehicle through which members share information and ideas that enhance the leadership of deans and associate deans, provosts and associate provosts, university presidents and other arts executives in higher education. It is the only organization focusing exclusively on issues that impact deans and associate deans of all creative areas in higher education, including fine and performing arts, arts education, art history, architecture and communication.

As a member of the board of directors, Tick helps ensure that the organization runs in accordance with the agreed upon mission, policies and laws of the membership.

“I am delighted to have the incredible opportunity to work with the ICFAD board, and I am grateful to the membership for supporting my candidacy,” says Tick. “Everyone says you get more than you give as a board member, and I can tell already that’s true. Apparently Syracuse University has never had representation on the board, which of course makes this appointment even more special.”

Tick became dean of VPA in July 2016 after serving six years as dean of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Kentucky, where he managed a $38 million budget and 180 faculty in art and visual studies, music, theater, dance and arts administration, as well as the university’s accredited art museum and performing arts center. Prior to that he was chair of the Department of Theatre at Louisiana State University, where he also served as artistic director of Swine Palace, Louisiana’s premiere professional theater company. Outside of his leadership roles in higher education, he has taught acting, directing, voice and speech, and has widespread credits in producing, directing and company management.
