According to Susan Poser, Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, "Dr. Michaels’ collaborative management style and his familiarity with many of the programs and faculty in CADA make him well suited to work with the faculty, staff, and students during this transition year in order to continue to strengthen the college and prepare to bring in a new dean."
