Seton Hall University School of Law recently made two hires: Deborah R. Edwards, as executive director of diversity and inclusion, and Keith Cook, as assistant dean of alumni and development. Each Started on Sept. 5.
Edwards previously served as counsel to the New Jersey Attorney General. As counsel, she was responsible for oversight of an 8,000-person department, and providing legal and operational guidance to directors and managers in all divisions. She established the Attorney General’s Diversity Council and Mentor Program. Edwards’ role in overseeing the Division on Civil Rights and the Office of Equal Employment Opportunity, as well as providing guidance on workplace conduct and workplace morale, provides her with the experience and perspective important to her new role in higher education. Edwards’ earlier legal career includes serving as section chief in the Employment Counseling Section of the Division of Law, a court executive and EEO officer in the Burlington Vicinage, and numerous Department of Law & Public Safety positions. Edwards received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, and her J.D. from Villanova.
