Jeffrey Runner

Undergraduate education, information technology, and data governance are getting organizational enhancements and new leaders going into the 2021–22 academic year.

Since taking over as dean in 2017, Runner has focused on fostering an environment of belonging in which all students can become innovative and adaptive lifelong learners.

Health and safety were the order of the day for a “slow roll to move in” for the Class of 2024 and other University students living in campus housing this fall.

Faculty and staff involved in undergraduate life outlined plans to keep students and other members of the community safe as they return this fall.

During Monday’s ceremony, Runner discussed his path from college dropout to dean, and his desire to make the University a place of inclusiveness for all.

Linguistics professor Jeffrey Runner begins his tenure as dean of the College, describing his academic and personal background and how that relates to his goals for the College's future.

The professor and chair of the Department of Linguistics succeeds Richard Feldman, who served as dean of the College for the past decade, and will begin his five-year term on July 1, pending approval by the Board of Trustees.
