Peter John Loewen will serve as the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences starting Aug.1, according to Provost Michael Kotlikoff’s Friday, May 24 announcement. Loewen will succeed interim dean Rachel Bean, who has led Arts and Sciences since July 2023 after former dean Ray Jayawardhana accepted a position as provost of Johns Hopkins University. In an email to students in Arts and Sciences obtained by The Sun, Kotlikoff wrote that Loewen’s academic and leadership background aligns with the college’s work. Loewen also plans to hold a professor position in the Department of Government. “Those are questions that will be thrilling to engage graduate and undergraduate students in at some point in the classroom.”
