As we prepare to begin the spring semester, I wanted to share with you some important news. As you know the past year has been remarkably challenging, each of us dealing with the burdens and difficulties created by COVID-19 and a global pandemic. On top the professional hurdles, like many of you, I also have dealt with significant personal challenges. After much thought and careful consideration, I have determined that I want to explore the new opportunities that the flexibility of retirement might offer to me personally and to the WKU and Bowling Green communities. While I have enjoyed my work at WKU, I do not feel comfortable making a commitment to you and the university to continue in an administrative role for another four years. I have shared with the president my intent to retire at the end of the fall semester and that I will not return to the position of Ogden College Dean.
