In announcing the search, Dean Jacqueline Royster expressed gratitude to interim chair, David Shook, who has served in the role since January 1, 2014 and will continue to lead the School through the transition.
“On behalf of the College, I offer whole-hearted thanks to David Shook, who stepped in as interim chair during a critically important strategic transition in the School of Modern Languages, including their very first Board of Regents Program Review process,” Royster said. “David has been a champion for Modern Languages at Georgia Tech, and a conscientious administrator for a complex bundle of operations. He will leave the School in a great position to move to its next phase.”

It draws on its unique setting as part of a premier technological university to deliver cutting-edge programs that focus on preparing students to participate in the global workforce through advanced communication skills, critical and creative thinking, intercultural understanding, and professional competency in nine languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Russian, and Spanish.
