Immprof and Former ImmigrationProf Blog Editor Named Co-Dean of Rutgers Law

Immprof Rose Cuison-Villazor (Rutgers) has just been named co-dean of Rutgers Law School. As the announcement below notes, she’s the school’s first Asian-American woman co-dean and the very first Filipina American law dean in the United States.

Rose is well known in the immprof community. Schools that have been lucky enough to have had the benefit of her teaching include Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law, Hofstra University School of Law, University of California at Davis School of Law, Columbia Law School, and Rutgers Law School. We here at the ImmigrationProf Blog are also pleased to brag that Rose is one of our former editors.

Congratulations, Rose! We’re so excited for you!

Congratulations to Rose Cuison-Villazor, who becomes the first Asian-American woman Co-Dean at @RutgersLaw in Newark and the first Filipina American law dean in the U.S., as @PDavidLopez announces his departure June 30. We are grateful for his leadership and outstanding work.
