Women tapped to lead Westfield State University’s 4 new colleges
After more than a year of planning and reorganization, Westfield State University began this academic year with a new four-college structure featuring an all-female administrative team. The new structure, announced last month, transitions the school’s more than two dozen departments to four new colleges: the College of Graduate and Continuing Education; the College of Mathematics and Sciences; the College of Education, Health and Human Services; and the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. In addition to restructuring its Division of Academic Affairs, Westfield State appointed a provost and four founding college deans — all women — to oversee the new system.
