Monica Ponce de Leon named next dean of Princeton University's School of Architecture

Monica Ponce de Leon has been tapped as the next dean of Princeton University‘s School of Architecture. She will assume the prestigious role on January 1, 2016.

“I am deeply honored by the trust that Princeton is placing upon me and I look forward to working with students and faculty in writing the next chapter in the history of the school,” said Ponce de Leon in a statement. “Given that architecture plays a unique role in the construction of culture, at the intersection of the humanities, the sciences and the arts, the opportunities are enormous. I am excited to work with the School of Architecture and the leadership at Princeton to expand and deepen architecture’s role in understanding and speculating on the challenges of our time.”

Ponce de Leon will be coming to her new gig from the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor where she has been dean since 2008. Before that, she served on the faculty at the Harvard GSD for 12 years.
