The Dean’s office sets the college’s strategic course and provides leadership for education and research across all seven schools. Housed in beautifully refurbished Bexell Hall, which serves as both the living room and front door to the liberal arts at Oregon State, the office is a welcoming space where college leadership meets with students, faculty, staff and alumni to provide guidance and support, exchange ideas and celebrate accomplishments. The executive branch of CLA is responsible for all academic, administrative and financial aspects relating to the college.
