Congratulations Scott Furlong!
One of my all-time favorite professors got promoted today. Scott Furlong, Professor of Public and Environmental Affairs, was named the new Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences at UW-Green Bay.
Scott Furlong, a member of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay faculty since 1993 and chair of the University's Public and Environmental Affairs academic unit, has been named UW-Green Bay's dean of liberal arts and sciences.
Furlong will begin his duties as dean July 1.
Sue K. Hammersmith, UW-Green Bay provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the University is fortunate to have someone with Furlong's experience, talent and enthusiasm to lead Liberal Arts and Sciences.
His academic background, administrative experience and familiarity with the university make him a great fit for the dean's position, Hammersmith said. I look forward to working with him in this new role.
The dean of liberal arts and sciences is one of two academic deans at UW-Green Bay. The other is the dean of professional and graduate studies.
The dean of liberal arts and sciences has administrative and leadership responsibility for programs in humanities, fine and performing arts, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
I'm extremely honored and humbled to be selected for the dean's position and look forward to the challenges and opportunities this position provides, Furlong said. I have been very fortunate to work with great people here at UW-Green Bay and am looking forward to continuing these relationships and working together to ensure our students get the best that UW-Green Bay has to offer.
Future students are going to miss out on the 15 page paper researching the Federal Register and his insight into the bureaucratic regulatory agencies. Without his Regulatory Policy and Administration, I wouldn't have a clue how to navigate the public policy subsystems.
