Penelope Andrews, an associate dean at the City University of New York School of Law, will become president and dean of Albany Law School in June. Andrews will be the first woman president of Albany Law since it opened in 1851. Mary Ann Cody, chair of the school’s board of trustees, said Andrew’s training and background make her ideal to lead Albany Law. “Legal education is facing unprecedented challenges, and we feel Dean Andrews has the vision and skills to capitalize on our school’s unique strengths to meet those challenges,” she said.
Andrews, who has taught in law schools in Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Scotland, Canada and her native South Africa, said she hopes her background will help to make Albany Law’s programs, such as the Government Law Center, more prominent nationally and internationally. “I think Albany Law School is in many ways shy” about what it does, she said. “They should be shouting about it more.”
