Willow Bay Is USC Annenberg School's First Female Dean

In a recent conversation with USA Today College, CNN’s Erin Burnett cited Willow Bay as a mentor. And when USC journalism students this spring travel to New York and the San Francisco Bay area as part of “Maymester,” they will have Bay to thank. She expanded that portion of department activities in 2015.

On Monday, it was announced by USC provost Michael Quick that Bay has been promoted from director of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism to that school’s next dean.
