The Deans at Pennsylvania Western University help shape the university's vision and provide strategic input into the connections between that vision and the allocation of university resources. Deans advocate for academic and educational quality and provide guidance regarding university wide decisions affecting enrollment, academic and co-curricular programs and accreditation. In today’s episode, we answer some questions regarding Academic Affairs. What is the role of a college dean? What sort of opportunities were created by integrating California, Clarion and Edinboro? What’s new and exciting within the Colleges of Education, Arts and Humanities; Health Sciences and Human Services; and Science, Technology and Business?
