Missouri State names interim provost
CNAS Faculty and Staff – I know that this all happened very quickly. Know that once the new provost is hired and is able to be on campus I will return to CNAS. That could happen anytime in the next 3-6 months. I have the highest confidence that Jorge will be an awesome Interim Dean for the college. Searches, annual faculty evaluations and so much more will continue as normal this spring. Jorge will be supported by Gale Lininger and Holly Keehner – two expert assistants in the college. By the way – the dean’s office is moving to their new location in the Blunt Hall addition this week. Follow the signs when you enter Blunt Hall if you want to visit the office. Tammy
