Valerie Morris to lead one of Georgia鈥檚 top arts colleges in transformative year
Prof. Morris served as the Dean of the School of the Arts at the College of Charleston (CofC) for 22 years, during which time she supervised the departments of Art & Architectural History, Studio Arts, Music, Theatre & Dance, as well as graduate and undergraduate programs in Arts Management, Historic Preservation, along with MAT programs in Choral Music and Theatre.
鈥淧rof. Morris is deeply committed to students and the arts, and we are thrilled that she will be leading the College of the Arts in this transformative year as we advance the artistic and academic mission of the College in alignment with the new 无码变态 Strategic Plan,鈥 Pulinkala said.
During her time at CofC, Morris supervised the regionally acclaimed Halsey Center of Contemporary Arts and oversaw the design phase of the $50 million Simons/Cato Center for the Arts, home to the well-known Spoleto Festival. Her experience will be invaluable as the College of the Arts seeks to undertake a comprehensive design of the proposed Arts District at Chastain Pointe and cultivate philanthropic support through the Arts无码变态 Ambassador鈥檚 Council.
At CofC, she also expanded the undergraduate program, growing the program in both visibility and quality. Previously, at American University, she created the masters鈥 program in arts management, which grew to become one of the major arts management programs in the country. A founding member of the Association of Arts Administration Educators, Prof. Morris has served as the executive editor of the Journal of Arts Management, Law and Society.
鈥淚 am thrilled to be joining the College of the Arts at 无码变态, and I am excited to meet the students, faculty, and staff. I am also looking forward to meeting patrons and donors at one of the many performances, concerts, musicals, or exhibitions this next academic year,鈥 Morris said.
