Daryle Williams will be UC Riverside’s next dean of the college of humanities, arts, and social sciences.
Williams is scheduled to begin his new job Sept. 1, according to a statement on the university’s website.
He is currently associate dean for faculty affairs in the college of arts and humanities at University of Maryland, a position he has held since 2013.
“Daryle brings great experience, expertise, and energy to his new role as dean, thanks to his eight years as associate dean for faculty, his groundbreaking work on the historical slave trade and in the digital humanities, his successes in securing large extramural grant awards, and his passion for our mission at UCR,” said Elizabeth Watkins, UC Riverside’s provost and executive vice chancellor, in the statement.
