FROM: NYU President Andrew Hamilton and Interim Provost Gigi Dopico

We are very pleased to share with you the members of the Rory Meyers College of Nursing Dean's Search Committee, which will help identify candidates to succeed Dean Eileen Sullivan-Marx, who announced over the summer her plan to retire by the end of August 2023.

We want to thank all the members of the Committee — which will be chaired by Professor Audrey Lyndon — for their service, which comes on top of all their other duties and obligations.  

There are few decisions more consequential for a school than the selection of a new dean, and we are grateful to the Committee members for taking on this responsibility.

We also want to express our gratitude to Eileen Sullivan-Marx. Eileen has been an outstanding dean, a wonderful University citizen, and a valued colleague; her guidance, input, and expertise during the pandemic were particularly valuable.  While finding someone to fill her shoes will be no easy feat, her many achievements during her decade as dean have helped us in one notable way: her successful leadership of the school all but ensures that we will be able to attract the highest caliber of candidates to the deanship.
