"Coco is at once an extraordinary artist, an astute cultural critic and writer, and a committed educator," said Parsons Dean Tim Marshall.
"She will greatly contribute to the ambitious academic changes underway at Parsons, as we move toward becoming a more interdisciplinary and progressive institution in the fields of art and design."
"I am excited to join the academic and creative community at Parsons and to work with the exceptional faculty in Fine Arts and across Parsons and The New School," said Fusco regarding her appointment.
"I am especially looking forward to working with the faculty to capitalize on and extend our Fine Arts programs' strengths and to situate Fine Arts strongly in the context of the new academic planning at Parsons."
Fusco succeeds Don Porcaro, who served as Chair since 2003 and as a member of the faculty since 1984.
