In February, Associate Dean Leigh Boske agreed to remain in his administrative post and serve as the number two person at the LBJ School for a sixth year. He will also continue to teach and do research.

In making the announcement, Dean Ed Dorn noted that he had benefited enormously from Boske's advice and support. He said that Boske's acceptance to continue as associate dean was "good news" for the School because Boske was "proficient at handling and overseeing the myriad operational matters" that allow the School to function smoothly.

Boske has taught at the LBJ School since 1977 and is an expert in transportation policy. He has received several honors for his teaching and research, including a UT Austin Texas Excellence Teaching Award, the Person of the Year Award from the Texas Ports Association, and an innovative research award from the Texas Department of Transportation. As part of a 1993-94 special sabbatical, he served as special adviser to the Texas Transportation Commission.
