David Rubin Named Dean

David Rubin took the helm of the Newhouse School after 17 years on the faculty at New York University. During his 18-year tenure as dean, Rubin secured funding for the design and construction of Newhouse 3, which was dedicated in 2007 with a keynote speech from Chief Justice of the United States John G. Roberts.

Rubin oversaw the establishment of the Alexia Tsairis Chair in Documentary Photography; the Goldring arts, style and culture journalism program; the Tully Center for Free Speech; and the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture, among other initiatives. He started the Newhouse Career Development Center, which became a model for other career centers on campus.
