Arizona State University School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences founding director and professor Wayne Raskind has been appointed dean of the Wayne State’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, according to a university press release. The new position will be effective Aug. 15. A graduate from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Cambridge, Raskind has more than 12 years of experience in university administration and spent a year at the Universite de Paris-Sud in France as a visiting researcher. “Wayne State is a perfect combination of a high-level research university that serves a wide spectrum of students in an urban environment,” Raskind said in a press release. “These missions are not only compatible, but can serve to strengthen each other. The college is the core of the university and must reach out to and play well with all other academic units. It will be my pleasure to spearhead this effort as dean.” A photo of Raskind is included.
