\"\"(LOS ANGELES) (April 2, 2018) \u2013 <\/strong>Dr. Michele Nealon, President of The Chicago School, has selected Dr. Justin Cassity as the new Campus Dean of its Southern California Campuses in Los Angeles, Irvine and San Diego.

Dr. Cassity joins The Chicago School from California State University, Los\u00a0 Angeles, College of Professional and Global Education, most recently holding the title of Associate Dean and Administrator of its downtown Los Angeles Campus.

\u201cI\u2019m excited to join The Chicago School as the leader of one of its largest campuses in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Our commitment to innovation, service, and community distinguish The Chicago School not only as a dynamic institution of higher education but also as an integral member of the communities we serve. One of the ways we do this is by preparing students who have a passion and a commitment to give back to return to their communities and organizations equipped to make an immediate impact. By integrating theory with hands-on experience via fieldwork, community and international service learning, research projects, and internships, our graduates emerge ready to make positive changes in diverse communities and organizations at a local and global level. With so much great work going on, I look forward to serving alongside our exceptional students, faculty, and staff as we continue to make a difference in Southern California,\u201d said Dr. Cassity.<\/p>\n
