The University of Toledo community is invited to meet the candidates for the founding dean positions in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, the College of Visual and Performing Arts, and the College of Language, Literature and Social Sciences.

Those candidates recommended by the committees will be interviewed this week by faculty, staff and students. McMillen and UT President Lloyd Jacobs will then make recommendations to the UT Board of Trustees at its Academic and Student Affairs Committee meeting Monday, Dec. 6.
