Bryant University Provost and Chief Academic Officer Glenn Sulmasy, JD, LL.M, along with President Ross Gittell, Ph.D., have announced that after an extensive national search, Veronica McComb, Ph.D., has been appointed Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
McComb was formerly Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Lenoir-Rhyne University, with three campus locations in North and South Carolina. She also served as Director of the University Honors Academy, Academic Chair for History, and Program Coordinator for Africana Studies at Lenoir-Rhyne.
“We are very excited to welcome Dr. Veronica McComb to Bryant’s academic leadership team,” said Provost Sulmasy. “She is widely recognized for her collaborative leadership, forward thinking, and passion for academic excellence. Dr. McComb also brings with her deep experience in innovative program development and strategic planning.”
“The issues affecting higher education make it clear that who is teaching and who is learning is changing in the 21st century,” McComb said in accepting the appointment. “Whether it is accelerating the transition from traditional disciplines to interdisciplinary thinking or enhancing the curriculum to integrate the genders, races, classes, ethnicities, faiths, and abilities of experts and learners, change is essential for today’s academic institutions. This is a critical time for us to cultivate 21st century leaders, and Bryant University is poised to lead in this arena.”
WittKieffer’s Sheila Murphy and Jen Meyers Pickard, Ph.D. led this search.
