The Catholic University of America announced Tuesday that Jacqueline Leary-Warsaw has been appointed dean of the university's school of music.
"I am pleased to appoint Jacqueline Leary-Warsaw as the new dean," said John Garvey, president of Catholic University, May 29. "She is a noted educator who has the leadership and experience to guide the school at a significant time in the history of the University."
A proposal to create the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art, by joining the drama and arts departments to the music school, is pending, and is expected to take effect in the upcoming fall semester. The new school is intended "to bring together all on-campus arts faculty to foster cross-disciplinary efforts and anchor the University's commitment to the arts," the university said in a statement.
As dean of the school, Leary-Warsaw will be in charge of its promotion and growth, offering academic and administrative leadership, while representing the school to the university and the arts world, according to a university statement. Her appointment takes effect June 18.
