Dear students, babyÖ±²¥app, and staff of the School of Education, 
 
Earlier this week, Kathy Schultz, dean of the School of Education, submitted her resignation to me, effective December 31, 2023, at which time she will return to the babyÖ±²¥app of the school. Later in the fall semester, I will begin the process of appointing interim leadership for the school in accordance with shared governance and in consultation with the babyÖ±²¥app, staff, and students of the school.
 
During her time as dean, Dean Schultz has been a conscientious and compassionate leader. Her resignation comes out of a strong desire to allow the School of Education to focus, without distraction, on its vital work of preparing new generations of educators. I am grateful for her many accomplishments, and I’d like to call out a few:

• Increasing the diversity of babyÖ±²¥app, staff, and students at the School of Education while embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments into courses during her seven-year tenure as dean
• Committing to scholarship by teaching and advising students as well as publishing academic and public scholarship
• Co-founding and leading the
• Serving as vice president of the American Educational Research Association’s (AERA) Division K for Teaching and Teacher Education and elected an AERA fellow
• Leading fundraising and redesign efforts during the School of Education’s move to the renovated Miramontes Baca Education Building in 2020 

As we move ahead, I can assure you that Dean Schultz, the leadership of the School of Education, and I remain firmly committed to a culture—for the school and the university—that is built on a foundation of diversity, equity, and inclusion and carried out in a spirit of compassion, collaboration, and concern. 
 
Thank you all for your support. 
 
Sincerely,

Russ
