Patriarca named among most influential deans
Former ECU College of Education Dean Dr. Linda A. Patriarca was named one of the 30 most influential deans of education in the United States by Mometrix Test Preparation.
According to the Mometrix web site (http://www.mometrix.com/blog/the-30-most-influential-deans-of-education-in-the-united-states/) the list was developed as a way to honor individuals dedicated to educating the future workforce.
The list was compiled through analysis of state and national awards and honors, education program rankings, degree program rankings and level of pay received by graduates of the teaching programs.
Patriarca stepped down from the dean position this summer. Dr. B. Grant Hayes assumed the role of dean on July 31.
