The Dean of Southern Illinois University Carbondale's College of Business is headed west, and another leader is a finalist for a job in Kentucky.
Business Dean Dennis Cradit was named Dean of San Diego State University's College of Business and Administration earlier this month. His first day on the job is July first.
SIU Spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith says Cradit's opportunity is Southern's loss. She say the process is moving forward to name an interim dean to replace Cradit.
Meanwhile College of Liberal Arts Dean Kimberly Leonard is a finalist for a position as Dean of Arts and Sciences at the University of Louisville. Louisville Spokesman Mark Hebert says a final decision on that hire hasn't been made, but could come before the end of the month.
