Abstract
In June of next year, I will complete my tenth year as dean. When I was a relatively new dean, a wonderful alumnus and generous supporter offered me what I have come to appreciate as the best analogy for the responsibilities of a dean in leading an academic institution – this is, the role of a fiduciary. A dean truly is a fiduciary – he or she is entrusted with a legacy carefully built by those who came before; charged with making that legacy come alive for the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who experience the institution in the present; and responsible for preserving and building upon that legacy for the generations of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are yet to come.
