All members of the CALS community are invited to attend.

• Mark Rickenbach, professor and chair, department of forest and wildlife ecology — Wednesday, April 24, 9:00-10:00 a.m.

Dean Kate VandenBosch and the search committee will solicit feedback from the CALS community through an online survey that will be provided following Dr. Rickenbach’s public presentation.

Dean VandenBosch expects to name a new senior associate dean in May, with an anticipated start date of June 1 to allow for overlap with current Senior Associate Dean Dick Straub, who will retire this summer.
