The dean of Georgia State University's law school, Steven Kaminshine, will step down this summer and return to teaching after 12 years in the role, the school announced.

GSU College of Law has tapped Wendy Hensel, associate dean for research and faculty development, as interim dean for the 2017-2018 academic year while the university conducts a search for a new dean to start the following year.

GSU's associate provost for faculty affairs, Kavita Pandit, and the dean of the Robinson College of Business, Richard Phillips, are co-chairing the national search.
