UConn has named Jeremy Teitelbaum, Salome Raheim and Gregory Weidemann as the three new deans to run the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), the School of Social Work in West Hartford and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. All three will start their jobs this summer, in time for the beginning of the Fall 2008 semester.
Teitelbaum of the University of Illinois at Chicago was selected by Provost Peter Nicholls to fill the position of CLAS dean. His appointment was announced April 8.
"Jeremy brings to this position energy, enthusiasm, and an exciting vision for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences," Nicholls said in a press release. "I am excited about this appointment and look forward to welcoming Jeremy as the newest member of the UConn family."
Teitelbaum is currently a professor of mathematics and senior associate dean of the CLAS at the University of Illinois at Chicago. At the campus, he is responsible for budgets as well as recruitment and retention of faculty, according to a press release.
Teitelbaum will replace Ross MacKinnon, who will be retiring at the end of this semester after 12 years as head of UConn's largest undergraduate school.
UConn has gone to different Midwestern school to find a dean of the School of Social Work. Nicholls chose Salome Raheim of the University of Iowa to head the school last week.
She will replace David Cournoyer, who has been serving as interim dean since former dean Kay Davidson returned to the faculty last year.
In a press release, Nicholls said he was looking forward to welcoming Raheim into the UConn family. He praised her national presence in the social work field and her leadership experience with several social work organizations including the Council on Social Work Education, the accrediting body for social work programs.
Raheim has been a professor of social work at the University of Iowa since 1997 where she served as senior associate to the president and director of its School of Social Work, according to a press release.
