Valerie Ashby has brought her own remarkable style to the role of dean of arts and sciences. While some leaders want to be “large and in charge” and others lead from behind, Valerie brings a unique ability to lead by creating and empowering a highly effective team. A major focus of her time as dean has been to select the very best department chairs and to mentor them to be the very best leaders they can be and to let them lead. She has also built a dynamic and effective leadership team within the Dean’s office.
