Said Walcott: "I am simply delighted to welcome him as the new dean. "Being selected to become dean of this faculty brings a sense of very serious responsibility." "Some of my colleagues are amazing in their abilities and accomplishment, so it will be a significant and humbling honor to serve as their dean," said Fry in his e-mail. In an e-mail reply to questions, Fry said he looks forward to learning "the ropes" from the current dean of faculty, Charles Walcott, who steps down - as well as retires from Cornell - on June 30.įry's appointment, subject to approval by the Executive Committee of the Cornell Board of Trustees later this spring, will run from July 1 to June 30, 2011. Fry, a professor of plant pathology, is conducting research at Stellenbosch University on a plant pathogen that causes potato late blight. On a sabbatical leave in South Africa, William Fry learned this week that Cornell's faculty has elected him as its new dean.
