Frances Bronet, president of New York's Pratt Institute, has been named chair of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design, a group "dedicated to strengthening creative institutions, our connections to internal and external constituents, sharing emerging and significant practices, and building diverse and sustainable career opportunities for art and design graduates," Bronet says in a press release.

Bronet, a professor of architecture and former dean of the College of Design at the University of Oregon, is the first woman to hold a background in architecture and engineering, reports the New York Times.

"She is held in high esteem among her peers and we look forward to her continuing to elevate the field of arts and higher education through her role as chair," AICAD's president says.

Bronet, who became president of Pratt in 2018, says in the press release that she's "honored to serve as chair of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design and look forward to continuing this work alongside talented leaders to advance passions and resources."
