College of Law Dean María Pabón López has announced that she will resign from her position at the end of this academic year.

López plans to take a one year sabbatical, then return to the College of Law as a professor in fall 2016.

“I am very grateful to Dean López for her service as dean and wish her well as a member of the law faculty,” said Marc Manganaro, provost and vice president for academic affairs, in an announcement to faculty.

Until a new dean is hired, Manganaro and the Rev. Kevin Wildes, S.J. have asked the College of Law faculty and staff to nominate candidates for an interim dean to be appointed early next semester.
