New Dean

I am pleased to welcome the tenth Dean of the Law School, Professor Bob Ackerman of Penn State University Law School. Previously Dean at Willamette University College of Law, Professor Ackerman is an expert in mediation. We have already met at the AALS Annual Meeting in New York City. I look forward to working with him over the next several months on the transition. He is wonderfully qualified for the position. Please join me in congratulating him on his appointment.
