After six years serving as dean of the College of Natural Resources, Dean Robert Brown is retiring.

Having been involved in higher education for over 30 years, Dean Brown is ready to start a new chapter away from campus, though not fully separated from academia.

“I may consider continuing my distance education course,” Brown said, “I also serve on the board for several organizations and do a lot of work on the council for Boy students.”

At this search committee, the members are tasked with replaced the deans of these colleges, as well as replacing several other higher-up faculty positions being lost at the end of this year.
