Last year, Taras Pavlovsky agreed to serve as interim dean of the newly renamed School of the Arts and Communication, when former dean Jim Lentini left to accept a position at Miami University in Ohio.
Pavlovsky has been at TCNJ since 1995. Prior to becoming dean of the library, he served as the music and media librarian. He has a master ’s degree in musicology from Rutgers University and has twice chaired search committees for the school ’s dean’s position.
Pavlovsky has extensive performance experience as a vocalist and instrumentalist, including appearances at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He plays a variety of folk instruments and is a lyric baritone. He has appeared as a conductor at the Garden State Arts Center and the Princeton University Chapel, among other venues.
In his new role, Pavlovsky has already helped facilitate the move of the Department of Communication Studies to the newly renamed school. In addition, he is “working with the various departments to finalize new programs already under development [and] working with the staff in the development office to continue to seek out scholarship funds for our students.”
As for the time demands of serving as both dean of the library and dean of the School of the Arts and Communication, Pavlovsky said, “Without a doubt, it is the most challenging role I’ve had at TCNJ.”
Christine Leichliter came to The College in 1993 and has held several positions across campus. She became Assistant Dean of the newly established School of Art, Media, and Music in 2002. (The School was renamed The School of the Arts and Communication in 2007.)
She earned both her Bachelor of Education and her Master of Education degrees at the University of Pittsburgh. She is currently a candidate for the degree of Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership at the University of Phoenix.
This is Christine's first year of involvement with the Festival of the Arts and finds it both challenging and exciting. She looks forward to a highly successful Festival, and hopes to welcome current and prospective students, faculty, staff, and alumni to what promises to be a stellar event.
