Dr. Francine Conway, the dean of the School of Communication and

One of the nation's oldest and largest institutions of higher

and Information (SC&I) is located on the Rutgers-New Brunswick
campus.
SC&I was created in 1982 with the merger of the Graduate School
of Library and Information Studies, the School of Communication
Studies, and the Department of Urban Journalism. SC&I is
committed to equipping students with the tools necessary to succeed
in today's global communication, information, and media
environments. The school's programs prepare students interested in
organizational and health communication, social and new media,
library and information science, and information technology for
vital careers in today's digital workplace.
The dean of SC&I is chief academic and executive officer of the

academic excellence. The ideal candidate will be dedicated to
building upon the excellence of the school and to promoting the

of our regional context, which includes diverse communities in New
Jersey and close proximity to New York City, Philadelphia, as well
as access throughout the Northeast. The new dean will possess a
record of outstanding leadership, including a commitment to both
undergraduate and graduate education; dedication to excellence in
research, teaching, outreach, access and opportunity; and the
