The university has appointed a new interim dean for the College of Mass Communication and Media Arts.

Deborah Tudor, associate dean for academic affairs in the college, has been selected as the interim dean pending approval from the SIU Board of Trustees, according to an email obtained by the Daily Egyptian from David DiLalla, associate provost for academic administration.

“[Interim] Provost [Susan] Ford, Associate Provost [Jim] Allen, our college deans and I look forward to working with Interim Dean Tudor, and to her leadership of the college,” DiLalla said in the email.
