Additionally, the Dean will be deeply committed to building a community whose members constantly intertwine diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect into their teaching and learning, research, and scholarship. Given the University of Maryland Extension is a unique and significant element under the AGNR umbrella, the Dean will thoughtfully balance their campus engagement with relationship building and engagement opportunities with key constituents across the State of Maryland and beyond. Finally, the Dean will be laser focused on supporting student academic success and growing enrollment while also working to increase partnerships and philanthropic support for AGNR's faculty, programs, and students.
