DEAN, UCI SCHOOL OF LAW
WHY: In August became UCI’s third-ever law dean. UCI Law had 52 full-time faculty members and 477 students as of April.
NOTABLE: Previously dean at Indiana University Maurer School of Law. A top 20 public law school, Parrish helped Maurer complete a $60M capital campaign and grew its research centers, established new clinics and built pipeline programs with dozens of university partnerships.
QUOTABLE: “Former deans Erwin Chemerinsky and Song Richardson have set a very high bar for leadership at UCI Law, and to be selected to follow in their footsteps is an honor.”
