Dr. Siddiqi: "I am grateful to the University for providing me the opportunity to serve as Interim Dean of the College of Architecture and Construction Management. My goal, and subsequent actions with our CoACM leadership team, will be focused on student success. I believe we have an exciting opportunity to help our students succeed within the framework of our new CoACM initiatives, including the  College's roadmap to becoming a top-tier R2 institution, its Quality Enhancement Plan, and its CoACM Workload Policy."

 

Dean Cole: "Dr. Khalid Siddiqi has served the Department of Construction Management competently, professionally and with outstanding leadership for 18 years. Dr. Siddiqi has led his department through numerous successful accreditations, formed one of the most effective Industry Advisory Boards in the region and has been tireless in developing scholarship opportunities for his department’s students. He is truly dedicated to student success.

I have worked closely with Dr. Siddiqi in my time as Dean of the College of Architecture and Construction Management (CoACM) and I have full confidence that Dr. Siddiqi will confidently lead the CoACM in his new leadership role as Interim Dean."
