John McCarthy to be Dean and Vice-Provost

Congratulations to John McCarthy, who has been appointed Dean of the Graduate School and Vice-Provost for Graduate Education, effective this September.

Even as he takes on these new administrative responsibilities, John will remain engaged in graduate teaching, advising, and research in the Linguistics Department, and he will teach a seminar every year. As happened with Michael Becker this year, the department will also receive funds annually to hire a visiting faculty member in phonology.
