“I am thrilled to welcome Dr. Hall as Marist’s new Dean of the School of Communication and the Arts,” said Dr. Catherine Gunther Kodat, Provost of Marist University. “He brings a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience to the role, both as a scholar trained in communication and its related fields and as an administrator with a keen understanding of how an interrelated approach to curricular development, student support, and faculty welfare makes for a flourishing academic enterprise. We are fortunate indeed that Dr. Hall has chosen to make Marist his new creative and intellectual home.”
