Dean of the J. David Rosenberg College of Law

After an extensive search for a new dean of the J. David Rosenberg College of Law at the University of Kentucky, three finalists will participate in campus forums and meetings. The outstanding finalists represent a diverse pool of candidates who will be engaging with the community in several ways. 

After the forums, UK community members will have the opportunity to submit feedback through a webform on the search webpage. Names and CVs of finalists will be made available only to the UK community 24 hours prior to the day of their forum on the search website. Click here for candidate and forum information. NOTE: To access this information, individuals must have a linkblue ID and password.

The Provost has appointed the following members to the search advisory committee, consisting of faculty, staff, students and alumni. As we get further into the process, we will seek campus-wide input.
