Pennsylvania State University has tapped Hari Osofsky, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, as the new dean of its University Park law campus and School of International Affairs. (The university maintains a separate law campus in Carlisle with different leadership.)
Osofsky, 44, is an expert on climate change regulation and energy policy. She is slated to assume the Penn State deanship on July 1 pending approval from the university’s board of trustees and will be the 16-year-old law school’s first female dean.
