Manhattanville College has appointed Dr. Brian Carolan as the new dean for its School of Education.
Carolan comes to the Purchase-based school from SUNY Empire State University, where he has been serving as dean of the School for Graduate Studies. Prior to his current role, he was dean of graduate studies at Sacred Heart University. He succeeds Dr. Shelley Wepner, who is stepping down to focus on teaching after serving as dean for close to 20 years.
“Brian Carolan will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the School of Education at Manhattanville and fulfilling our mission to educate ethical and socially responsible leaders,” said Christine Dehne, provost and executive vice president at Manhattanville. “His experience focusing on the success of graduate students and non-traditional learners will serve Manhattanville and Westchester County well as we expand our online program offerings and our use of digital learning technologies, building on our commitment to prepare the qualified educators that our local schools need.”
