Overview

The Senior Associate Dean creates and drives a strategic vision for international programs and experiential, immersive learning at Princeton.

The Senior Associate Dean oversees five direct reports, including the director of the Bridge Year Program; the director of the Study Abroad Program; the director of the International Internships Program; the director of the Fellowships Program; and the director of the Community-Based Learning Initiative. The Senior Associate Dean reports to the Dean of the College and sits on the Council for International Teaching and Research, the Service and Civic Engagement Steering Committee, and the Travel Oversight Group, as well as other committees.
