UC Berkeley’s Division of Computing, Data Science and Society, or CDSS, nominated four associate deans with the purpose of diversifying leadership and strengthening the division’s outreach.
The nominations include Charis Thompson as associate dean for campus partnerships, Catherine Choy as associate dean of diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging and justice, Armando Fox as associate dean of online programs and John DeNero as associate dean of undergraduate studies, according to Tiffany Lohwater, chief communications officer for CDSS in an email.
Kathy Yelick, CDSS’s former associate dean for research, will also transition from her previous role, becoming the new executive associate dean, Lohwater noted.
