A widely published Indiana University law professor has accepted an offer to become dean of the NIU College of Law.

The NIU Board of Trustees will consider the appointment of Dr. Eric Dannenmaier at their next meeting. The recommendation follows a national search.

Lisa Freeman, executive vice president and provost, is excited to welcome Dannenmaier to NIU, according to a May 2 Alumni Association newsletter.

“His reputation as a collaborative, interdisciplinary scholar has led to a number of prestigious nonacademic leadership roles, including an appointment by President Obama to the Joint Public Advisory Committee of the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation,” Freeman said.

Following the appointment of his position, Dannenmaier would become dean of the NIU College of Law in Fall 2016.
