Wright State has appointed Subhashini Ganapathy as dean of the College of Graduate Programs and Honors Studies.
Ganapathy, professor and chair of the Department of Biomedical, Industrial, and Human Factors Engineering, will start the new role effective May 1.
She will replace interim Dean Shu Schiller, who left Wright State last month for a position at University of Missouri-St. Louis.
Associate Dean Paula Bubulya has agreed to serve as the college’s acting dean from April 1 to 30.
“I look forward to working with Dr. Ganapathy and Dr. Bubulya to elevate the visibility of our graduate and honors programs, increase enrollment, and ensure student success,” said Wright State Provost Amy Thompson. “As a university leader, Dr. Ganapathy has guided efforts to enhance student engagement and achievement, build internal and external coalitions, and advocate for graduate and honors excellence.”
As dean of the College of Graduate Studies and Honors Program, Ganapathy said, she will champion a student-first approach by creating an academic experience underscored by compelling curriculum and training opportunities; being relevant to regional and national workforce needs; and maintaining accreditation and high-quality academic programs, according to a release.
