The Search Committee for Loyola's founding Dean of Education is hosting a series of open fora that introduces four finalists for this position to the campus community. Three finalists have already participated, while the final interview will take place this Thursday, Jan. 31, at 2 p.m. in the Fourth Floor Program Room.
The establishment of a School of Education is a discussion that has been ongoing for several years, according to Dr. Mickey Fenzel of Loyola College's Education Department. After a favorable decision on the part of Loyola's administration, a search committee was formed last summer and advertising for the position of Dean of Education began in the early autumn.
"The process of selecting a Dean is nearing completion. We received a large number of applications from a diverse pool of very qualified candidates," Fenzel says.
Four deserving candidates remain, including Dr. Hardin Coleman, Dr. Victor Delclos, Dr. Peter Murrell, and Dr. Francine Peterman.
Dr. Coleman is currently the Associate Dean for Continuing Studies and Diversity Initiatives for the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. He received his B.A. in psychology from Williams College and completed his Ph.D. for counseling psychology at Stanford University. Additionally, Coleman currently partakes in the Independent Clinical Consulting Practice in Madison Wisconsin.
Dr. Delclos holds the position of Associate Dean for Education at Loyola College. He is also a professor in and chair of the Education Specialties Department here. He received his B.A. in psychology from Boston College and continued his education at Loyola College, where he received his Masters and later completed his doctorate at the George Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. Delclos arrived at Loyola after six years as a tenured associate professor at the University of New Mexico.
Dr. Murrell, currently an associate professor in the School of Education at Northeastern University, completed his undergraduate education at Carleton College in Minnesota, where he received his B.A. in psychology. He obtained his Masters in Experimental Cognitive Psychology from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, and later completed his doctorate in Urban Education-Educational Psychology from the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.
