Consultative Committee to Review SEAS Dean Glandt

President Amy Gutmann and Interim Provost Peter Conn have announced the membership of a consultative committee to review extension of the deanship of Dr. Eduardo Glandt, who is currently in the sixth year of his initial appointment as dean of Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.
