Deb Carlson Wood received her BA from Carleton College and JD from Washington University School of law. After working as a trial attorney, she was invited to be Dean of Students at Washington University School of Law. While she enjoyed working with law students and teaching trial advocacy, she longed to replicate her experience at an undergraduate, residential liberal arts college. She then went on to serve as Vice President and Dean of Students at Coe College in Iowa and then Illinois Wesleyan University. They are all avid animal lovers with 2 dogs and 3 cats.
Deb loves life.
Swimming, rollerblading, walking and cake decorating are some of her interests. She remembers longingly the days when she back packed around Europe for a summer without a care in the world.
