Dear Tufts community members,

We are thrilled to announce that, after a national search, Bárbara Brizuela has been named dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, effective immediately. 

The arc of Bárbara’s 30-year relationship with Tufts, beginning as a master’s student in the Department of Education and culminating now in her appointment as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences, has been a remarkable one. In each stage of her Tufts career—from professor to dean of academic affairs, dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and dean ad interim—her passion for education has been a constant, as have been her dedication to the research and scholarship conducted by our faculty and the success of our students.  

We encourage you to read more about Bárbara and her vision for the school on Tufts Now.

Having had the privilege of working closely with Bárbara, we look forward to seeing all she will now accomplish as dean. Please join us in congratulating Bárbara on her appointment.

Sincerely,

Sunil Kumar
President

Caroline Attardo Genco
Provost and Senior Vice President
