Christina “Tina” Christie, currently interim dean of the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies, will be the new dean of the school, effective April 1.
Christie, a professor of education, has served as interim dean of the school since July 2020. Previously, she was chair of the department of education and head of the department’s social research methodology division. Before her appointment at UCLA in 2010, she served for nine years on the faculty at Claremont Graduate University.
“It is an extraordinary honor for me to serve as the next dean of Ed&IS, the school that has given so much to me. The Ed&IS faculty, students and staff and our UCLA and community partners are the most outstanding scholars and practitioners of education and information studies in the world today, working at the most extraordinary public university in the world,” Christie said.
