As Peter Lepage, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, prepares to step down in June, the pool of candidates to fill his position has been narrowed down to four individuals, according to Simeon Moss ’73, deputy University spokesperson. All four candidates have a Cornell connection: One is a Cornell faculty member, two are Cornell alumni and one is both a Cornell faculty member and an alumnus.

Peter Lepage, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, was appointed to the National Science Board on Nov. 16 by President Barack Obama.

Peter Lepage, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, announced last week that he will step down when his term ends on June 30, 2013.
