A Message from Sean Kassen

Dear Development Colleagues,

This afternoon a press release will be posted on ND.edu announcing the hiring of the new College of Science Dean.

I am excited to announce the hiring of Mary Galvin who is coming from the National Science Foundation and has spent most of her career in government and industry, though she did spend approximately a decade in academic at University of Delaware years back. Her area of expertise is materials science, and she is highly regarded among her peers.

She will start officially on August 17.

In the mean time, Brian Baker, Associate Dean of Science, will serve as interim Dean for July and August.

Once she arrives on campus we will coordinate a meet-and-greet and other meetings to make in person introductions.

Thank you.

Sean
