Dear Colleagues,



In follow-up to a note that went out earlier today to academic leaders from Senior Vice Provost Erin McNamara Horvat, I wanted to share that Dr. Caroline Schauer, having served as Interim Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Advancement throughout the last year, will return to the Drexel Engineering leadership team as Associate Dean for Faculty Advancement and ​Program Initiatives, effective January 1, 2024. My thanks to Dr. Joe Hughes for stepping in as interim Associate Dean to fill the gap while one of our own supported evolving needs in the University administration. 

In addition to previously serving in - and thoughtfully and intentionally developing - this AD role, Dr. Schauer brings unique insight from her work in the Provost's office. I am grateful for her willingness to rejoin the leadership team and deploy that fresh perspective to advance the trajectory of faculty affairs, as well as projects related to the ongoing Huron consulting work and UAC proposal.

Sincerely,

Sharon
