The College of Health Sciences invites the campus community to join in celebrating Tim Dunnagan who is stepping down as dean of the college after 14 years. The college is hosting a recognition reception from 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10 in the Stueckle Sky Center’s Bronco Zone.
Dunnagan, the college’s fifth dean, served during a period of staggering university growth and increasing complexity in academia. He and his team have:
- Nearly doubled the size of the college.
- Launched three doctoral programs.
- Created and expanded multiple programs, including online offerings, a genetic counseling path and multiple certificates geared to working professionals.
- Established an advisory group of current and retired CEOs and leaders of major healthcare organizations who provide feedback and guidance to shape courses and majors.
Dunnagan will become a special assistant to Provost John Buckwalter, focused on new academic programming in health sciences.
Joelle Powers, who has served as the college’s senior associate dean for several years, is Dunnagan’s successor. She will be the college’s first female dean.
