Subject: [Coehd] COEHD Dean Announcement

Dear COEHD Community,

I’m delighted to announce Dr. Kristen Lindahl will serve as our next Associate Dean for Strategic Partnerships, Preparation, and Growth effective September 1, 2024. As an accomplished scholar and proven academic leader, Dr. Lindahl exceeds every qualification for this important role. As a former assistant dean, she performed duties and responsibilities essential to this role and played a key part in the development of the Equity and Education degree, among other accomplishments – experiences that will serve her well in this position. Her more recent efforts with the federally funded SELFIES grant also reveal much promise and potential to position COEHD for funded innovative degree pathways in the future. No question she has been an active and thoughtful citizen at all levels. I am excited by her vision for this college and thrilled by all the possibilities and opportunities. Please join me in congratulating Dr. Lindahl.

Words do not fully convey my gratitude to Dr. Flores for her wisdom, dedication, and superb service to the college for many years. She’s an inspiration to many of us. Please be reminded Dr. Flores is not retiring but will go on faculty development leave in the fall.

-Mario
