Delaware College of Art and Design will have a new president starting August 1st.

 

Jean Dahlgren was recently hired from a pool of more than 40 applicants identified during a nationwide search.

 

 

Dahlgren was elected the College’s next president by a unanimous vote and she will be DCAD’s third president. The 60-year-old is currently dean of undergraduate programs at Sage College of Albany in Albany, N.Y.
