Graduate ComD Chair Search completed

Hi!

The following is a message from Frank Lind, Dean of the School of Art and Design, announcing our new Chair, Professor Jeffrey Bellantoni. He will assume his position on July 1.



Colleagues: I am pleased to announce that Prof. Jeffrey Bellantoni has accepted my offer to serve as Chairperson of the Graduate Communications/Packaging Design Department. Prof. Bellantoni comes to Pratt from Mercy College, where he is Chair of the Division of Civic and Cultural Studies, which includes Computer Arts and Design, a program he founded in 2001. My thanks go out to the search committee, ably chaired by Tom Dolle. We all owe a debt of gratitude to Roger Guilfoyle for his spirited leadership in the difficult time since we lost Don and, of course, to Marilyn Lyons, who helps in more ways than I can count. I know you will join with me in welcoming Jeffrey Bellantoni when he assumes his new duties on July 1st.
Frank Lind, Dean, School of Art and Design


I am sure that you will all join the faculty and me in welcoming Chair Bellantoni.

Best regards
--Roger
