Three finalists are in the final phase of the selection process for the dean of the University's College of Environment and Design.
The finalists, announced Monday by Provost Arnett Mace in a news release, were chosen from a national search. The new dean will succeed John F. Crowley, who stepped down in 2006.
The finalists for the position are Brian Orland, Dan Nadenicek and Scott Weinberg, and they will be on campus this month to meet with students, faculty and administrators, according to the release.
A search committee met in December and January to discuss finalists and gave a list of recommended finalists to the Provost, said Garnett Stokes, chair of the search committee.
Nadenicek is the chair of the department of planning and landscape architecture at Clemson University. He is also the director of Healthy Communities and Historic Preservation in Clemson's Restoration Institute and was previously on the landscape architecture faculty at Penn State University, according to the release.
Orland is the head of Penn State University's department of landscape architecture. He was an associate director at the University of Illinois' Environmental Council and founder of the Imaging Systems Laboratory, according to the release.
Weinberg has served as interim dean of the College of Environment and Design since September 2006. Weinberg has been on the faculty of the School of Environmental Design since 1982 and was director of the school and associate dean of the college.
Each candidate will spend two days meeting with faculty, students and University administrators, Stokes said.
A meeting for students, faculty and alumni will be held for each finalist.
The final decision will be made after the interviews. The dean will start July 1.
