Big news out of New York’s Pratt Institute, which announced today that Concetta Stewart has been named dean of its School of Art and Design. Stewart comes to Pratt from Temple University, where she has served as dean of the School of Communications and Theater since 2000 and previously chaired the University’s Department of Broadcasting, Telecoms, and Mass Media. As dean of Pratt’s School of Art and Design, Stewart will be responsible for leading Pratt’s largest school with more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students in 15 degree programs. She starts work on July 20, replacing Frank Lind, who is stepping down after a decade in the decanal post.
