General Studies Dean of Students Scott Halvorson is resigning after 15 years at GS, according to an email from GS Dean Peter Awn. He was appointed dean of students in 2010. More info to come, and read Awn's full email below.
UPDATE: Dean Halvorson has sent out his own farewell email. You can read it after the jump.
Dear Students,
It is with mixed emotions that I write today. Dean Scott Halvorson will be ending his long and distinguished career at GS. Dean Halvorson has been considering for some time returning to his first love, writing. As some of you know, Dean Halvorson earned his MFA at Columbia’s School of the Arts in 2001, with a specialization in screenwriting and won several awards for his work.
As his responsibilities at GS continued to grow, he found that he had less and less time to devote to his writing. Consequently, he has decided that, after 15 years at GS, it is time for him to focus more intensely on his craft.
