In the news ...
As the spring semester comes to an end, the department bids a fond farewell to three retiring professors, Dr. Bob McLean, Dr. Butch Weckerly, and Dr. Dittmar Hahn. Over many years, all three contributed greatly to the research and teaching mission of the department and university, including Dr. Hahn serving as department chair for 11 years. We wish them well in their respective retirements (Posted 5-1-2025).
We also say “farewell” to another highly-valued member of our faculty. Dr. Rachel Davenport has accepted a position at the University of Pittsburgh. Among other contributions to the department and university, Dr. Davenport served on the Faculty Senate representing the College of Science and Engineering. She was very effective in advocating for Biology and other COSE departments as well as helping bring about better recognition for the important role of non-tenure line faculty at the university. We wish her well in her new academic position (Posted 5-1-2025).
