What Does a Dean Do?
Newsome, Clarence G.
New Directions for Higher Education, n98 p101-107 Sum 1997
The dean of a divinity school reflects that the dean's role is to move the center of a school to its heart, safeguarding, promoting, and capitalizing on the school's collective intellectual intelligence and reconciling it with the school's collective emotional intelligence. Creating a climate for growth in the current environment of contraction is a significant challenge. (MSE)
