Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State recently hired two new staffers in high-level positions, but the university is continuing the search for its next provost and two dean positions.
Andrea Faber, currently the Rhodes State College dean of technology and liberal studies, was chosen as WSU’s new vice provost of the Lake Campus, effective April 4.
WSU also hired James Denniston as the founding dean of the College of Health, Education, and Human Services, effective June 1. The college contains the College of Nursing and Health, School of Professional Psychology and the Department of Social Work.
But Wright State is still looking to fill its provost position, after more than two years of working with interim provosts. Current university President Sue Edwards was the previous permanent provost and was promoted to president in January 2020. The university began its search for a new provost last fall.
The university appointed Oliver H. Evans, the current interim provost, last February. Previously, Douglas Leaman served as the interim provost beginning in December 2019. He left Wright State in February 2021 for a new job as the dean of the College of Sciences at Auburn University at Montgomery.
The university is also looking to fill the positions of dean of the college of science and mathematics, and dean of the college of liberal arts, where current dean Linda Caron will be retiring in May.
