Since her arrival in July 2017, Dean Susan E. Cahan has led the Tyler School of Art and Architecture in a school-wide initiative to foster cross-disciplinary scholarship and creative practice so that students may capitalize on the breadth of Tyler’s offerings in art, architecture, cultural history and design. She has prioritized enriching the student experience, with a focus on interdisciplinary learning and community-driven collaboration.
“The Tyler experience begins with great teachers,” Cahan says. “Every student is mentored by dedicated professors who create an intimate learning environment and a strong sense of community, which is so important within a large university. In their own flourishing research and creative work, our professors model what success looks like.”
