New Dean Named for College of Education

Following a comprehensive search, Sharon Subreenduth, Ph.D., has been named dean of the College of Education at Georgia Southern University. She started her new duties on July 1. Prior to this appointment, Subreenduth served as the associate dean for Academic Affairs, Research and Graduate Studies and as a professor in the College of Education at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. In announcing her appointment, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Carl Reiber said that after a national search, “Dr. Subreenduth emerged as the most qualified and best-suited person to lead the college forward.”

She brings a strong and diverse track record of accomplishments and experiences as an administrator, researcher, educator and community collaborator. Subreenduth grew up in South Africa under apartheid, and that experience has guided her scholarship, which focuses on decolonization and research and building diverse communities of practice through critical engaged inquiry.
