University of Rochester (School of Nursing)

In an effort to incorporate the thoughts and ideas of key School of Nursing constituents into the search for our next dean, I have met so far with the Faculty Governance Committee, faculty, undergraduate and master's students, and doctoral students. On December 19th I will be meeting with staff (10:00-11:00 am, in Room 1W-502). Highlights of the December 10th forum with SON undergraduate and master's students Provost Kuncl discussed the role of the dean and provided students with an update on the search process. As of today, the search committee has received the names of nearly fifty persons of interest who would be highly qualified candidates. We are in the process of making personal telephone calls to those and others in order to obtain their credentials and to get a sense of their interest in becoming a candidate. The student representative on the search committee is Sally Ellis Fletcher. It is our hope that on-campus interviews will be scheduled and students will have the opportunity to interview each finalist candidate if confidentiality is not an issue. President Seligman and Dr. Bradford Berk (Senior Vice President for Health Sciences and CEO for the Medical Center and Strong Health) will select the new dean from the list of finalists recommended by the search committee. Undergraduate and master's students offered the following as characteristics they would like their next dean to possess: * A willingness to interact with students and work towards solving issues together (designated weekly office hour, lunches) * Ability to maintain the prestige and quality of faculty and students * Experience in health care, research, teaching, clinical practice, and community outreach
