In 2022, the School of Music at Ithaca College officially combined with the Department of Theatre Arts, leading to the creation of a Division of Music and Division of Theatre and Dance. This led to the renaming of the School of Music to the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance.[2]
From 2022-2024, Anne Hogan served as the first dean for the School of Music, Theatre, and Dance since its merge with the Department of Theatre Arts. She announced her departure from the school in April 2024, and announced that associate deans Steve TenEyck and Luis Loubriel would be taking the spot of interim dean during the search for a new dean.
