Welcome to the Dean’s Office. We are located in South Hall on the Southeast sector of campus (Bldg 33 on the campus map). Our office is the organizational hub of the College of Performing and Visual Arts. The Dean meets with the Department Chairs, MFA Program Director, the Braithwaite Gallery Director and a representative from the Utah Shakespearean Festival on a regular basis to coordinate the overall operation of the College. All of the College’s marketing, public relations and fundraising is coordinated through the Dean’s Office as well. In addition, the Academic Advisor for the College is located in our office suite. We are open during university business hours Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. If you would like to meet with the Dean or arrange for meetings with representatives from our departments please do not hesitate to call or email Clarisse Lunt, for an appointment.
