Dean Richardson is leaving CCU

Bill Richardson has accepted the position of Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs at Antioch University Santa Barbara, and will be leaving CCU later this fall. He has been dean of the Edwards College of Humanities and Fine Arts for four years and moved here from Tacoma, Wash.

"This was a difficult decision for me, and was one I reached only after many sleepless nights," says Richardson. "AUSB is a small campus in the historic center of Santa Barbara. It focuses on nontraditional and returning students, and is part of a system with other campuses in New Hampshire, Ohio, Seattle, and Los Angeles. The Santa Barbara campus has an aggressive plan for growth, and my experience here at CCU, coupled with my work in Washington state, prepared me well to take on this new position."
