In this role, Asojo will work closely with Dean Carol Strohecker and other college leaders to advance research and outreach goals for faculty, centers, and the college.

“I hope to increase the visibility of research, creative scholarship, and engagement with faculty in order to better highlight how our work relates to the University mission, Minnesota, and the national and global community,” said Asojo. By focusing on collaborating with faculty, Asojo also hopes to identify support systems across the University to help develop, mentor, support, and promote these same initiatives.

Today the College of Design announced that Jennifer Yoos, FAIA, will be named the next head of its School of Architecture, effective June 8, 2020, and pending approval by the Board of Regents.
