Standfast looks to build on the success of her predecessors as CGA’s new dean

A friend congratulated Caren Standfast when she was selected to be the next dean of Culver Girls Academy, telling her: “You will have an opportunity to leave your legacy at CGA and I think that is one of the most unique opportunities one can be gifted.”

Standfast said she is grateful for the legacy Mary Frances England, who served as dean of the school from its founding in 1971 until 1984, and M. Lynn Rasch ’76, who started working at Culver in 1980 and has served as dean since 2014, have left as a strong foundation for CGA to build on.

“Dean England built the ship. Dean Rasch has since filled it with a great crew that has built a wonderful program. It's a big legacy to be built, and Dean Rasch has given me pointers on how to steer the ship,” she said.

 Standfast succeeds Rasch as dean on June 5.
