ABOUT TATUM THOMAS
Clarity, care, and strategic conviction guide how I lead. My career has taken shape within top-tier schools of continuing and professional studies, including NYU, Columbia, and now DePaul, where I have worked across institutional boundaries to align professional learning with university strategy.At DePaul University, I serve as Dean of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, a multi-modal unit that supports undergraduate, graduate, and non-degree learners. I’ve strengthened governance, advanced partnerships, and introduced mission-aligned initiatives that respond to workforce needs and reflect the realities of today’s learners. These efforts focus on access, upskilling, and credential innovation.Leadership for me means aligning values with operations and turning strategy into results. I position continuing, professional, and online education as a driver of institutional relevance and learner mobility. My work demonstrates how that vision takes shape in practice.
