<p>This choice and the theme of the announcement speaks volumes for how Grinnell sees its mission as an academic institution. </p>
<p>New</a> dean of admission and financial aid appointed - News | Grinnell College</p>
<p>IMO, this is another fine example of how this school acts on its beliefs and applies its resources to support them.</p>
<p>Isn’t this the first year for the one in place now?</p>
<p>I just checked. They have an acting Dean, so the last one, who had been there for a few years, must have moved on and they needed an interim.</p>
<p>yes, the former dean left last summer to become VP Admissions at Pomoma and there has been an acting dean in place since then. this new Dean looks like another in a steady stream of strong senior staff appointments by President Kington.</p>
