In January, Dean Marvin Chun informed the Yale College community of his intention to return to full-time teaching and research at Yale at the end of his term on June 30, 2022. President Salovey formed a committee to advise him about potential candidates to succeed Dean Chun in this position.
Members of the search advisory committee consulted broadly with the Yale College community. They sought to define the essential qualities, broadly speaking, of the next dean and collected recommendations for specific individuals who might serve in this capacity.
