James Reardon-Anderson named dean of Georgetown University in Qatar

A familiar face is returning to Doha to lead Georgetown University in Education City.

James Reardon-Anderson, the founding dean of the university’s School of Foreign Service in Qatar, will serve a two-year term as dean starting next month. He previously held the same role from 2005 to 2009. The official takes over from Gerd Nonneman, who held the position for five years and is remaining at the school as a professor of international relations and Gulf studies.
