UND has begun the search for a new dean of its College of Business and Public Administration.
A university press release announced Monday the creation of an 11-member search committee assembled by UND Provost Tom DiLorenzo and chaired by Cindy Juntunen, dean of the College of Education and Human Development.
The committee consists of a mix of staff, faculty and UND alumni. It also includes student Erik Hanson, who is vice president of the university's student government.
UND will hire a search firm to help in the hunt for a new dean. The search is expected to last through the winter with a target date of March 1 to choose the next leader.
The college now is led on an interim basis by Steven Light, who previously served in the provost's office as associate vice president for academic affairs. Light took over after the departure of former Dean Margaret Williams, who left UND before the end of spring semester. She served in the post for almost three years.
