Historical Note
This collection contains records from the tenures of three Deans of the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences.
Ann Fetter Friedlaender was Dean from 1984-1990. During her tenure, the Women’s Studies Program was founded (1984), the Department of Psychology formally left the SHSS (1985) to become a part of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, and the Statistics Center moved to the SHSS from the School of Science (1986).
Philip Shukry Khoury held the role from 1990-2006. On July 1, 2000, the name of the school changed from the School of Humanities and Social Science to the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences to recognize more fully the breadth and contributions of the arts at the Institute.
Melissa Nobles currently holds the position, appointed to the role in 2015.
