Jason Campbell-Foster will serve as Boston University’s next Dean of Students, assuming a role he’s held on an interim basis since July 2022, the University announced Thursday. Campbell-Foster emerged as the top candidate after a competitive, yearlong national search.
“I am deeply humbled by the responsibility that has been given to me,” he says. “If you had told the 13-year-old me, growing up in rural New York, selling chrysanthemums with my grandfather, that I would one day become the Dean of Students at a world-class institution of higher education, I would have assumed you had the wrong person and directed you to my classmate down the road.
