Dr. Marie Huff, dean of the Bowling Green State University College of Health and Human Services, is leaving the university, Provost Rodney Rogers has announced.
She has been hired as the dean of the Beaver College of Health Sciences at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.
Dean Huff came to in January 2014 from Western Carolina University. Rogers in a letter to faculty called her “an exemplary leader.” The letter indicated she was moving to be closer to family.
“She has seen the College of Health and Human Services through the $9.2 million renovation of its building, the creation of three new academic programs, and the integration of the Food and Nutrition program into HHS from its former home in the College of Education and Human Development,” the provost wrote. “She also facilitated the creation of the Optimal Aging Institute, for which she helped secure a $1 million grant from Medical Mutual of Ohio.”
Dr. Sue Houston, who retired as vice provost for academic affairs in 2014 and returned as director of institutional effectiveness in November 2016, has agreed to serve as interim dean of the College of Health and Human Services. She came to BGSU in 1991 as a faculty member in the School of Family and Consumer Sciences. “With her broad academic and administrative experience, she will be a capable leader for the College while a national search is conducted for a new dean,” Rogers wrote.
