Countless sophomores postponed river plans and pong dates to beat the July 5 corporate recruiting deadline set by the 10 financial leviathans that will grace the College next week for on-campus interviewing.

Scherr to head search for new College dean

By Gus Lûbin | July 6, 2006

College Provost Berry Scherr will chair the 11-person search committee charged with finding a replacement for James Larimore, College President James Wright announced Wednesday. The committee will include Student Body President Tim Andreadis '07 as well as two additional students that have yet to be appointed. The committee will begin its search later this month and plans to make its recommendation to the president by late fall or early winter, Scherr said. "We don't want to rush, so if it takes a bit long to put everything together, we'll take that time," he said, adding that the new dean would probably not start his tenure at Dartmouth until next summer. Acting Dean of the College Dan Nelson will continue to hold the office in the meantime.
