  • On June 30, Dave Richardson steps down from his position as dean after a decade of service, returning to the Department of Chemistry to continue his research and teaching. As dean, he re-righted the college’s budget after years of recession, hired more than 350 faculty members, and developed the Beyond120 program to push the boundaries of experiential learning. After his departure, former associate dean Mary Watt would assume the role of interim dean.
