David N. Brown will be the next Dean of the Ogden College of Science and Engineering at WKU starting July 1.
Dr. Brown is the Associate Dean for Graduate Education in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Louisville.
“David brings a wealth of experience in teaching, leadership and research that will serve WKU well,” President Timothy C. Caboni said. “His experience will allow us to continue to elevate the stature of the Ogden College and grow our portfolio of federally-sponsored research. This research is a crucial component to a WKU education as our students gain valuable, hands-on experience at the undergraduate level.”
Provost Cheryl Stevens said Dr. Brown “brings a wealth of leadership experience in higher education along with a student-centered approach that will serve us well in his new role.”
Dr. Brown said he has “been aware for quite some time of the wonderful people and excellent facilities in Ogden College and more generally at WKU. As a parent, I accompanied my children to academic competitions on the Bowling Green campus and was impressed with the physical spaces, the dedication of many faculty, staff and students who volunteered at these events, and the obvious pride the campus citizens showed in their work and in their surroundings.”
