Advancing knowledge and practice wherever people interact with information and technology

The School of Information is pleased to announce the appointment of Deirdre K. Mulligan as the new Associate Dean and Head of School.

Mulligan has been a dedicated member of the I School community for over a decade, joining the faculty as an assistant professor in 2008. Her research spans the fields of privacy and cybersecurity regulation, administrative law and new governance, and values-in-design.

The January 2020 School of Information Commencement looked to the future: we conferred a new degree for the first time, introduced a new dean, and welcomed a first-time graduation speaker. At the same time, the ceremony reinforced the I School’s interdisciplinary history and inclusive culture, with speakers emphasizing empathy for technologists, community in cybersecurity, and a philosophical approach to data science.
