Pike was appointed Dean of the School of Art in 1999, a position he held through July 2008. Pike has overseen significant expansion of the School of Art's initiatives in digital media, which are rapidly becoming integrated into all curriculum areas, as well as a major renovation of facilities in Bixby Hall. The school's Carolyn Roehm Electronic Media Center has emerged as a campus-wide resource for animation, web design, motion graphics, three-dimensional modeling, multi-media design and other new technologies, while the Visual Communications Area has pioneered a nationally unique program with Apple to design and build custom computers that are required for all visual communications majors. He has also won Addy’s and Flair awards for his creative work in advertising. He has twice been a resident at the Cité International des Arts, Paris. Pike has been a panel member on several art organizations, most recently at the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD) national conference where he serves on the Board of Directors. He is also a site evaluator for NASAD.
