Dear Rossier School Community,
On behalf of President Folt and myself, I am pleased to announce that Pedro Noguera has been reappointed Dean of USC Rossier School of Education. We look forward to continuing to work with Dean Noguera for another five years as he further advances the school with his commitment to world-class scholarship.
This decision followed a comprehensive review process that produced thoughtful and important input. Dean Noguera was praised for his visibility within the Rossier community, his reputation nationally and internationally, strong vision, strategic leadership, and his commitment to faculty governance and advancing the overall mission of Rossier. His vision for the future of Rossier centers on developing the next generation of leaders and educators through his continued emphasis on practice, research, service, and policy advocacy.
I want to thank the Rossier dean review committee, chaired by University Professor Peter Kuhn, for their service and dedication to this process. The review committee compiled a thorough and balanced analysis that was based on a survey, listening sessions, and feedback from faculty, staff, and students along with the Board of Councilors.
Please join us in thanking Dean Noguera for his continued service. We are grateful for his leadership.
Sincerely,
Andrew T. Guzman
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
