Stefanie A. Lindquist, Foundation Professor of Law and Political Science in the School of Global Politics and the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University (ASU), has been appointed dean of the School of Law at Washington University in St. Louis. Chancellor Andrew D. Martin announced Lindquist will assume the role July 1.
Lindquist will succeed Russell K. Osgood, who has served as dean since September 2021.
“I’m thrilled to announce that Stefanie Lindquist will be the next dean of the School of Law,” Martin said. “The school has a well-deserved reputation of academic distinction. I’m confident Stefanie’s innovative leadership and deep commitment to jurisprudence will further advance WashU Law’s mission: equipping students to effectively and ethically practice law and pursue justice.
“I’m grateful to Russell Osgood for his service to the school. His steady and careful guidance during this time of transition has been of enormous benefit. I’d also like to express my appreciation to the search committee for its diligence in identifying a stellar pool of candidates that ultimately led to this fantastic outcome.”
