We are pleased to announce that Holly Tapper, JD, MBA, will be joining Saint Mary’s Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs as the new Dean of the School of Advancing Studies, effective Tuesday, April 9.
Dean Tapper brings a wealth of experience in higher education leadership and a strong commitment to supporting adult learners and fostering innovative academic programming. Her leadership will be instrumental in advancing the mission of the School of Advancing Studies and expanding opportunities for non-traditional students in the bachelor completion programs.
The dean’s position and the School of Advancing Studies have been made possible through the generous support of a Saint Mary’s alumnus from the Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs. This gift reflects a deep commitment to the future of adult and continuing education at Saint Mary’s.
Dean Tapper’s office is located in MDP116, and she looks forward to connecting with students, faculty, and staff in the coming weeks.
