University Graduate School Dean David Constant is stepping down from his position to return to the College of Engineering, where he previously worked for 25 years, according to a University news release on Monday.
Constant was named dean in March 2010 after nearly a year as interim dean, the release said. An internal search committee will be formed to select a successor, and Constant will remain in his position to assist with the transition to new leadership.
His most recent contributions to the Graduate School include working with an ad hoc committee to improve efficiency and produce a report that will institute 13 “significant improvements” to the school’s procedures and policies, the release said.
Constant worked in numerous administrative and faculty positions during his 25 years with the College of Engineering.
Interim Vice Chancellor for Research and Economic Development Thomas Klei said the University thanks Constant for his work as Graduate School dean.
“He has much to contribute to the field of engineering, and LSU engineering students will benefit greatly by his return to that college,” Klei said in the release.
