Call for Nominations: Advisory Committee and Acting Dean of UK's College of Pharmacy

Dear Colleagues,
  
As previously communicated, Dean Rodney “Kip” Guy has accepted the role of dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota. He will be stepping down as dean of the UK College of Pharmacy effective July 31, 2025. Therefore, it is necessary to appoint an acting dean to lead the College of Pharmacy until a new dean can be hired.

Advisory Committee Nominations
  
I will be forming an advisory committee of faculty, staff and students from the College of Pharmacy and meet with them to solicit their recommended names of acting dean candidates. If you would like to nominate an individual(s) or yourself to serve on the advisory committee, please click here.

Based on the recommendations of the advisory committee and College of Pharmacy community, I will consider the names suggested and engage in conversations with candidates of interest. With this critical input, I will select an acting dean and announce the appointment soon thereafter.
