For the past seven years, Siân Mooney has served as the dean of the O’Neill School, leading the school through its most prestigious era in its half-century of history.
First and foremost, there is the recognition from U.S. News and World Report, which ranks the O’Neill School’s Master of Public Affairs program as the top graduate program of its kind in the nation. Along with the top-ranked MPA, four concentrations at the O’Neill School, including environmental management and policy, health policy and management, nonprofit management, and public finance and budgeting also are ranked No. 1. Additionally, multiple other concentrations rank in the top 10 in the country, including the nonprofit management programs at O’Neill’s Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses holding the top two rankings in the country.
Beyond the rankings, Dean Mooney has guided the school through record enrollment, the establishment of the Environment, Society, and Sustainability Institute, eight new degrees and certificates across IU Bloomington and IUI, more than $60 million in awards since 2019, more than $24 million in raised gifts, a growing portfolio of international partnerships, the hiring of 53 faculty members, including 37 tenure-track faculty members… the list goes on and on.
But all great times must come to a close, and this spring, Dean Mooney announced she would be pursuing her next chapter and stepping down as dean effective June 30. We’re thrilled to have Dean Mooney—who was the first-ever guest of O’Neill Speaks—join us to talk about her time at O’Neill, what her experience was like, and what’s next.
