SOLVING
FOR
BY TRICIA BISOUX
While some focus on globalization and others know how to
integrate technology into the curriculum, the one thing they all
have in common is their ability to devise creative solutions to
wicked problems. Here, seven deans each describe a single difficult
challenge they've faced during their tenures. While each problem—
and solution—is unique, all seven deans draw similar lessons from
their experiences: Stay true to your strengths, collaborate freely,
and engage faculty in the problem-solving process.
