With Dr. Sylvia Blankenship’s February 1, 2018 retirement, CALS is launching an internal search for the senior dean for administration. While we celebrate Dr. Blankenship’s upcoming retirement, we will certainly miss her wisdom and leadership.

This position serves as the chief operating officer of the college and is vital to our operational success. A full job description, and the job posting, can be found here.

Please consider applying for this position or nominating colleagues who you feel are qualified and would do an excellent job in this role. If you have interest, or a want to submit a nomination, please contact Search Committee Chair Dr. Steve Lommel, slommel@ncsu.edu, 919.515.2717. The closing date for application has not been determined, but the college intends to move quickly in filling the position so the new hire will have time to shadow Dr. Blankenship prior to her departure.
