The Boston College Law School is hard at work preparing for the search for a new dean as it bids farewell to current dean John Garvey. According to the Law School’s Communications Director Nate Kenyon, “an interim dean will be appointed sometime this summer.” Moreover, “a search committee will be formed under the direction of Provost Garza” in order to begin the diligent process of finding candidates for the deanship.
As Associate Dean Filippa Marullo Anzalone explains, Garvey is leaving Boston College Law “to become the president of the Catholic University of America”. Having been a student of Harvard Law, a professor at the University of Kentucky College of Law, and a professor at the University of Notre Dame Law School, Garvey was deservedly appointed dean in 1999 and has spent the last eleven years steadily improving the Law School. Though leaving Boston College, Garvey has enjoyed his years at BC and will undoubtedly miss his time at the Law School.
Both Kenyon and Associate Dean Marianne Lord explain that the University is deep in the preliminary process of organizing the execution of the search for a new dean. Though there is yet little information about the specifics of the search, Kenyon expects that the Law School will release more details about the process in coming weeks.
