GREENSBORO, NC – Dean of the Faculty David Schram announced today the outcomes of the faculty elections for Deans of the five Schools, which constitute the Academic Deans Council (ADC). These terms will be effective August 1, 2021. Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs Dan Malotky, Ph.D., concurred with the faculty’s choices of leadership and President Lawrence D. Czarda, Ph.D., approved the selections.

This election is one of the final strategic steps in the leadership evolution of Greensboro College this year following the summer 2020 retirements of Dr. Rich Mayes, Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Paul Leslie, Senior Vice President, and Dr. Robin Daniel, Executive Vice President.

The results are as follows:

Dr. Jessica Sharpe, current Dean of School of Math and Science, has been recommended by the ADC to serve as Dean of the Faculty beginning with the 2021-2022 academic year.

“I am extremely confident and pleased with the faculty’s selection of these dedicated professors and look forward to the recommendations they will make about our academic program moving forward,” VPAA Malotky said. “We also owe a great debt of gratitude to Dr. Rebecca Blomgren for her leadership as a founding Dean of School of Social Sciences and Education; she served two terms.”

“The Academic Deans Council, led by the Dean of the Faculty joined by the Deans of the five Schools, is a crucial element of the governance structure of Greensboro College and I am pleased to approve these choices,” said President Czarda. “Together with VPAA Malotky, they will provide strong leadership taking GC’s academic program to new heights in the competitive and changing environment of higher education.”
