SYRACUSE — Syracuse University on Nov. 5 announced it has formed a search committee for the next dean of the School of Information Studies (iSchool).
Current iSchool Dean Liz Liddy announced in early September that she would retire at the end of the 2018-19 academic year.
David Seaman, dean of libraries and University librarian, will chair the iSchool search committee.
“I have great confidence in Dean Seaman and the search committee to find just the right candidate to fill the huge shoes of Dean Liddy and continue to break new ground in this ever-evolving field,” Michele Wheatly, vice chancellor for academic affairs and provost, said in the release. She added that the iSchool is “nationally recognized for innovative programs in information policy, information behavior, information management, information systems, information technology, information services, data analytics and enterprise data systems.”
New York City–based search firm Russell Reynolds Associates will be assisting the search committee in its work, the school said.
