Joined by Wyatt Anderson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Russell Yeany, dean of the College of Education, Patel provided statistics and information about the university’s graduate programs at the third in a series of weekly briefings for the institutional Strategic Planning Advisory Group.
