Slava Lubmudrov took over as the Acting Dean of Liberal Education from 1990 to 1991. In 1991, the Liberal Education program was placed under the newly created Office of Undergraduate Studies led by Reba Keele who was the first dean of the department from 1991 to 1996. Under the reorganization, Slava Lubmudrov served as Associate Dean of Liberal Education until 1998.
