Today, Justin Perry, Ph.D., joins the FAU family as dean of the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College. Dean Perry comes to us from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he served as dean of the School of Education, Ewing Marion Kauffman/Missouri Endowed Chair, and professor of counseling and educational psychology. Under his leadership, the School of Education received a historic gift to support student scholarships, substantially grew its external research funding, and successfully received three national accreditations.

Prior to his time at UMKC, Dr. Perry served as chair and associate professor in the Department of Counseling, Administration, Supervision, and Adult Learning at Cleveland State University, and as director of the Center for Urban Education. He earned his Ph.D. and M.A. from Boston College and a B.A. from Tulane University.

I am delighted to welcome Dean Perry to FAU and look forward to his leadership of our award-winning Wilkes Honors College. Go Owls!
