Campus Community,   

The College of Design strives to be a leading force in the design disciplines, dedicated to building a collegial environment committed to excellence. The college embraces significant growth in enrollment, the development of multiple forms of scholarship and a transformation of facilities as part of the institution’s strategic imperative and mission to advance Kentucky.  

I am pleased to announce that a national search process for a permanent dean of the College of Design will begin next month. In accordance with Governing Regulation VIII, which states that I shall request a recommendation on matters of appointments from a committee, and as part of our efforts to enhance communication, transparency, inclusion and shared governance, we are seeking nominations for members of the search advisory committee, comprising faculty, staff and learners. All recommendations and justifications are treated confidentially. 

If you would like to nominate yourself or someone else to serve on the search advisory committee, please click here. If you have any questions, please contact Shavonna Ross, director of operations (shav.ross@uky.edu). Please submit your nominations by Friday, March 1, at 5 p.m. 

I look forward to working with you and listening to your input as we work through the search process. 

Thank you for all you do as we work together to advance Kentucky. 

Robert S. DiPaola, M.D.
