Crosland TowerProvost Rafael L. Bras has convened a search committee tasked with selecting the new dean for the Georgia Tech Library, filling a vacancy left by Dean Catherine Murray-Rust. The search will be supported by a external search firm and chaired by Jason Freeman, professor and chair in the School of Music.

To facilitate that effort, Leslie Sharp, associate vice provost for Graduate Education and Faculty Development is currently serving in the role of interim CEO until the search is completed.
Michael Toney, director of Academic Administration, will serve as administrative lead for the search.
A town hall for faculty, staff, and students to learn about the search process and timeline, and to provide feedback on the characteristics of ideal candidates has been scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 11 a.m.
Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons, Room 152
