Craig Wiggers Named Associate Dean of Finance and Administration

The ILR School’s new associate dean of finance and administration is Craig Wiggers, who was named to the interim position when L. Rebecca Hann was asked to serve as the university’s interim vice president for budget and planning. He assumes the role officially on Feb. 16. 

“I am pleased to have Craig Wiggers continuing as a valued partner in stewarding the ILR School’s people and resources,” said Alexander Colvin, Ph.D. ’99, ILR’s Kenneth F. Kahn ’69 Dean and Martin F. Scheinman ’75, M.S. ’76, Professor of Conflict Resolution. 

Prior to his interim role at ILR, Wiggers was the senior director of administration for the Cornell University Library.  

“I have truly enjoyed working in this role on an interim basis for the past six months, and I feel very fortunate to continue serving ILR’s faculty, students and staff,” Wiggers said. “The scope and impact of ILR’s resident and outreach programs are significant, and I want to thank Dean Colvin for giving me the opportunity to be a member of this school.” 

Wiggers came to Cornell in 2012 to serve as the Professor of Naval Science and Marine Officer Instructor with the Naval ROTC.  

Following a 25-year career in the United States Marine Corps, Wiggers retired and joined Cornell's facilities staff. Since that time, he has held a variety of leadership roles.  

Wiggers served as the chair of Cornell’s Employee Assembly from 2017 to 2019.
