Finalists for dean of College of Pharmacy position to make on-campus presentations

Four finalists for dean of the College of Pharmacy will be on Purdue's West Lafayette campus for two-day interviews in January, the search committee announced Wednesday (Dec. 7). Willie Reed, dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine and chair of the search committee, said that as part of the process, finalists will make a 30-minute public presentation and then take questions from the audience.

"We have four outstanding candidates -- two from within Purdue and two from significant institutions with excellent reputation," Reed says. "I hope faculty, staff and students will take this opportunity to hear from each candidate."

Feedback on the candidates is requested, and an online tool will be provided on the candidate website at https://www.purdue.edu/provost/pharmacysearchcommittee/candidates.html

Purdue's next dean of the College of Pharmacy will succeed Craig Svensson, who will step down from his deanship at the end of the academic year in order to transition to full-time faculty duties in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology.
