I would like to take some time to share why you should consider this position in the next step of your career and why you should call LSU home. I have worked at LSU for 19 years, and I have never been more optimistic about our future than I am now. You may wonder how that is even possible in year 2021, so please allow me to elaborate. While all of higher education has experienced challenges during the pandemic, LSU’s response has been inspiring. Our success is due, in large part, to our strategic priorities: recruiting, retention, online learning, research, building a diverse, equitable and inclusive campus, and philanthropic support. The next dean of the College of Music & Dramatic Arts will have the opportunity to capitalize on that success and relentless determination to succeed. We are looking for a candidate who understands it requires collaboration and commitment to realize bold and ambitious goals. Our fall 2020 freshman class set new records for enrollment, academic achievement, and diversity, and we expect that trajectory to continue in to fall 2021. Our achievement would have been amazing in a normal year, but in 2020, it was remarkable.
