University of Connecticut School of Law Dean Timothy Fisher is set to step down from his position on July 31.

Fisher brought an incubator program—the Connecticut Community Law Center—and several new clinics, and was in charge when the law school's grade point average hit an all-time high of 3.53.

The 66-year-old Hartford resident will leave on a sabbatical and return to the law school faculty in 2021. His successor is Eboni Nelson, associate dean of academic affairs and professor of law at the University of South Carolina School of Law.
