Valentini seen in the photo at the left (reprinted with permission from Columbia College Today: photo taken by Eileen Barroso), has been appointed Dean of Columbia College and Vice President for Undergraduate Education, filling the positions left by Professor Michele Moody-Adams in August 2011. The appointment was announced in a message to the university community by University President, Lee Bollinger, in June 2012. Professor Valentini’s appointment follows a year in which he served as interim dean and which, President Bollinger noted, was marked by an “inclusive leadership style” that “unified students, faculty, and alumni of the College…” Professor Valentini was the unanimous choice of the advisory committee that reviewed the qualifications of “several impressive internal candidates” for the position.
