On Friday, September 25th, 2015, President Peter Salovey announced Deborah Berke as the next dean of the Yale School of Architecture. The first female dean in YSOA history, Berke leads her own New York-based firm and has taught at the School since 1987.

Paprika! collected initial reactions to Deborah Berke’s deanship announcement the scientific way: at that evening’s rooftop 6on7 party, the poster for which depicted Dean Stern with a party hat and piñata. Bob must be looking forward to some extra free time at the end of his tenure, but are students looking forward to Deborah’s arrival?
