Members of the campus community are invited to attend an open forum on Monday, Nov. 26, from 2 to 3 p.m. in 111 Hinds Hall to offer input and ideas relating to the search for a new dean of the School of Information Studies (iSchool).
As the search committee undertakes its first task—creating a position description that will be used to advertise the opening and attract qualified candidates—all interested faculty, staff and students are invited to participate in helping to set the direction of the search.
