A.G. Rud
Washington State University has named A.G. Rud as dean of its College of Education.
Rud, who heads Purdue University’s Department of Educational Studies, will move from Indiana to start work at WAZZU in mid-August.
Rud has led the Purdue department since July 2008. He started at Purdue in 1994 as associate dean, and served in that role until 2001.
Before joining the Boilermaker faculty, he helped establish The North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching, where he was senior fellow. He received an AB degree in religion from Dartmouth College, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in philosophy from Northwestern University.
At WSU, Rud will succeed Interim Dean Phyllis Erdman, who took the helm in July 2009 after the deaths of Dean Judy Mitchell and Interim Dean Len Foster.
