CNAS Associate Dean Announcement:
As I announced on April 23 to all CNAS faculty the terms of all current part-time associate deans end June 30, 2021 and we began a search for a full time associate dean. I want to thank Drs. Xiaomin Qiu, Kyoungtae Kim and Jorge Rebaza for their work during the past two years. We have accomplished so much with their help. After a search I am happy to announce that Dr. Jorge Rebaza has agreed to serve as the full-time associate dean starting July 1, 2021. I look forward to working with him and all of the departments as we develop our action plan tied to the university’s new long-range plan and strategic enrollment management plan. Announcements regarding dean fellows will come later this fall.
