Badia Ahad, an award-winning teacher, innovative scholar and seasoned academic leader, has been appointed as the next dean of Oxford College of Emory University. Ahad currently serves as vice provost for faculty affairs and professor of English at Loyola University Chicago. She will begin her tenure at Oxford on Aug. 1.
“Badia Ahad understands that Oxford College is unique in American higher education — a place like no other,” said President Gregory L. Fenves. “She has bold ideas and is going to bring tremendous enthusiasm and energy with her to Oxford. Dr. Ahad is a scholar and leader, and I know our students, faculty and staff will connect with her immediately.”
