It is with great excitement and profound gratitude that I step into the role of dean. Through my interview process, campus visits, and preparation for this position, I have gained a profound appreciation for the exceptional work being done by our students, staff, and faculty. Your passion for teaching, strong connections with schools and the community, and creative, collaborative spirit are inspiring. In the spirit of collaboration, I am dedicated to supporting and promoting faculty, staff, and student success; fostering a strong sense of belonging; and expanding opportunities for all members of our community.
As I step into this role, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Stacy Morrone for her mentorship, leadership, and lasting impact on the School of Education while serving as dean over the past five years. I am grateful for the strong foundation she has built and look forward to building upon it. I am energized and ready to serve and lead the IU School of Education.
With gratitude and excitement,
Robert Q. Berry III
Dean
