Consultative Committee for the Selection of a Dean of the School of Design

Gary Hack has announced that he will step down as Dean of the School of Design when his current term ends on June 30, 2008, marking the conclusion of 12 enormously successful and productive years that have immeasurably strengthened PennDesign.

The Consultative Committee will be chaired by SEAS Dean Eduardo Glandt and supported by Dr. Stephen Steinberg of the President’s Office. The Committee will be aided in its work by Judith Auerbach of the executive search firm of Auerbach Associates, who also supported the School’s previous dean search, which resulted in Dean Hack’s original appointment.
