Ann Minnick, dean of Academic Advising, will be leaving New Paltz at the end of August after almost 10 years. She is returning to the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis where she earned two degrees and began her advising career. Minnick will assume the role of one of three new assistant directors of advising for the College of Liberal Arts at the university. Mary Beth Collier, executive assistant to the provost, will serve as interim dean of academic advising until the search for a successor is concluded.
