Correction (7/18/2016, 3:17 p.m.): The listings originally misidentified the name of the institution at which Donna Moran was appointed dean of the School of Art and Design. Ms. Moran, who is professor of fine arts at Pratt Institute, will be a dean at Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, not Pratt Institute.

Correction (7/19/2016, 10:35 a.m.): In the original listings, Bree Dority was incorrectly listed as dean of the College of Business and Technology at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Ms. Dority, who is an assistant professor of economics at the university, will be associate dean of its College of Business and Technology.

Correction (7/19/2016, 11:03 a.m.): In the original listings, it was incorrectly stated that Anne Kremer, associate director of admission at DePaul University, would also be director of alumni relations at Drake University when she transitions there as its dean of admissions on August 8. Ms. Kremer will not be director of alumni relations. That position will be held by David Remund, an assistant professor of public relations at the University of Oregon, who will join the the university on August 15.
