SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW — After a nationwide search, Seattle University has selected Anthony E. Varona as the new dean of Seattle University School of Law. He joins the law school — with an annual enrollment of more than 600 students and a strong emphasis on social justice — from the University of Miami School of Law, where he served as dean and M. Minnette Massey Chair in Law from August 2019 through June 2021, and now holds the Massey Chair as a tenured professor and dean emeritus. “Tony Varona is the right dean for this pivotal moment in Seattle University School of Law’s history,” President Eduardo Peñalver said. “His roots in Jesuit higher education, along with his deeply held commitment to public service, are a perfect match for Seattle University’s Jesuit-inspired mission to educate powerful advocates for justice. With his personal warmth, strong vision, and tremendous energy, Tony will accelerate the law school forward. I have long admired Tony’s work as a legal academic and administrator, and I am excited to have the opportunity to work with him over the coming years.”
