Dear Colleagues,
As we near the end of the academic year, I am writing to share that Professor Mary Crossley will step into the role of interim dean of the School of Law effective July 1, 2023.
But first, I must thank Professor Haider Ala Hamoudi for his commendable, generous service during his time as interim dean. When Haider graciously accepted the appointment earlier this year, I promised him that he could begin a long-awaited and much overdue sabbatical at the end of June. I am sincerely grateful for Haider’s leadership during this time.
