Nancy Uscher

Candidate Statement

I am honored to be a candidate for the International Council of Fine Arts Deans Board. I greatly respect the work of this special organization and find the conversations among the Deans to be meaningful, inclusive, and thoughtful. I have learned a great deal from the ICFAD Deans and the ideas I have taken away from meetings have helped me serve my institution, UNLV, more effectively. I love the long-standing international scope of ICFAD. Most of all, I have experienced a collective wisdom in ICFAD about the power of the arts and humanities to be a catalyst for change in the world. I am inspired by this optimism about what is possible as well as the passion and seriousness of purpose among our colleagues.
