Dr. Margaret “Peggy” Booth has been appointed dean of the Graduate College, following an internal search. Booth has served as interim dean of the college since last January.
In announcing her appointment, Provost Rodney Rogers said that Booth “has done an admirable job of moving graduate education at Bowling Green State University forward and toward the goals of the Strategic Plan.”
In her role as associate dean of the college from 2012 until her appointment as interim dean in 2017, Booth has been deeply involved in strategic planning for the Graduate College and in the development of innovative new graduate programs and curricula. “She is a leader who values interdisciplinary academic connections and their potential for research, scholarship and practical applications,” Roger said. “She has also worked with faculty to create new certificate programs for working professionals that enhance their skills and encourage continued educational engagement.”
