ITHACA, N.Y. — Ithaca College has named Steve TenEyck as the new dean of its School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, effective March 1.
He had served the past year as the school’s co-interim dean and for two years prior as associate dean, the college said.
As dean, TenEyck will have budget and academic oversight of the school’s 15 degree programs, 120 faculty, and 700 students with a goal of working with all stakeholders to develop a comprehensive strategic plan with measurable outcomes to propel the school’s mission of equipping students to thrive in their professional pursuits.
During his time on the faculty, TenEyck taught numerous theatrical-design courses. He also designed lighting for and mentored students for anywhere from six to 10 theater productions each year. He also designed sets and lighting for dozens of theater, musical theater, opera, and dance productions around the country as a member of Local 829 of United Scenic Artists.
TenEyck succeeds Anne Hoga, who served as the inaugural dean of the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance from 2022-2024.
TenEyck joined the college in what was then the department of theatre arts in 2001, becoming a professor in 2017. He became department chair in 2021 and was named associate dean in 2022 when the department came together with the School of Music to form the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance.
TenEyck holds a bachelor’s degree in drama from the University of California at Santa Barbara and a master of fine arts degree in lighting design from the University of Washington School of Drama. He taught at both institutions prior to joining Ithaca College.

POTSDAM, N.Y. — Clarkson University says it is seeking proposals for a concept design for the upcoming Clarkson Engineering and Applied Sciences Educational Complex.
The university, located in Potsdam, is asking architectural and engineering firms to team with construction managers and design builders to provide proposals. The effort seeks to expand and renovate its engineering and science facilities to “meet the challenge of 21st Century STEM education.” STEM is short for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
“This is an exciting moment for Clarkson,” David Heacock, acting president and trustee of Clarkson University, said in the school’s announcement. “This is an outstanding opportunity to chart a lasting legacy for one of the nation’s leading STEM focused institutions and reinforce Clarkson’s leadership for decades to come.”
For its Engineering and Science Educational Complex, Clarkson is envisioning a $48 million expansion and renovation of the Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP)/Rowley Labs facility in conjunction with significant renovations to the Cora & Bayard Clarkson Science Center building.
Firms interested in submitting proposals can access the request for proposals (RFP) document online. Clarkson says it will use the site to post any addendums and any procurement updates related to the opportunity.
“We are asking firms to help us advance our own planning study to the point that a clear path is developed for the expansion and renovation of our facilities to ensure we can meet the needs for Clarkson’s STEM leadership now and well into the future,” Bill Jemison, dean of the Coulter School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, said in the announcement.
The request for proposals articulates that the intent is to enter into a multi-phase design contract. The first phase involves validating the internal planning efforts to date and developing a concept design that can “clearly articulate a vision” for a phased expansion and renovation of Clarkson’s core STEM facilities.
Final proposals from teams are due on March 20. The university building committee will review the written proposals, forming a shortlist of firms in which to conduct informal interviews. Clarkson anticipates selecting a firm/team in April.
