Columbia reappoints 3 deans following redesigned leadership review process

Amy Hungerford, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, was reappointed until June 2029, and both Keren Yarhi-Milo, GS ’03, dean of the School of International and Public Affairs, and Troy Eggers, Business ’05, dean of the School of Professional Studies, were reappointed for an additional five years.

The reappointments come less than a week before incoming University President Jennifer Mnookin is slated to take office on July 1.

As part of Hungerford’s review, faculty members had identified “organizational features” within FAS that made her role “uniquely challenging.”

Yarhi-Milo created the Institute of Global Politics at SIPA in 2023, in collaboration with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Eggers served in various administrative roles across Columbia for over 20 years before taking the helm at SPS.
