Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce Professor Tracy Sulkin as dean designate of the College of Media. She is currently a full professor of political science in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and has been serving as interim executive associate dean of the College of Media. Professor Sulkin’s new role began September 16, pending approval by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees.

A member of the Illinois faculty since 2002, Professor Sulkin is currently a Romano Professorial Scholar in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and was previously an LAS Centennial Scholar. She has published three books on American politics, most recently, Legislative Style, in 2018.

Professor Sulkin brings extensive administrative experience to her new position. In the department of political science, she served as director of graduate studies and associate head for undergraduate programs. She has been elected to the LAS Executive Committee and served on the LAS Curriculum Committee. She also chaired the Undergraduate Education Task Force for the campus strategic planning process.

For the past year, Professor Sulkin has provided significant stability, leadership and direction for the College of Media in her role as interim executive associate dean. I am confident she will continue to be a collaborative leader for the College of Media. She has agreed to serve in the dean position for a three-year appointment.

I would like to express sincere appreciation to Professor Wojtek Chodzko‑Zajko who has been serving as interim dean for the past two years while he has also served as the dean of the Graduate College. Under his leadership, the College has laid a solid foundation for future success.

Please join me in congratulating Tracy Sulkin on her appointment as dean designate of the College of Media at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
