Search begins for School of Education dean

University President Ronald J. Daniels has convened a committee, chaired by CTY Executive Director Elaine Hansen, to undertake a nationwide search for the new dean of the School of Education. Members of the Johns Hopkins community are welcome to share thoughts on the search and submit confidential nominations by emailing soedeansearch@jhu.edu.
