Hueffer to serve as acting CNSM dean

Provost Anupma Prakash has appointed Karsten Hueffer to serve as the acting dean of the College of Natural Science and Mathematics. Hueffer is a tenured professor and CNSM associate dean for veterinary medicine. He joined the UAF faculty in 2006. Hueffer will take over for Kinchel Doerner, who served as CNSM dean for the last three years. Doerner resigned earlier this month.

Prakash plans to appoint an interim dean in June. She is accepting letters of interest from those who want to serve as interim dean. Letters should include details of the applicant’s interest in the position, along with their plan for stable, sustainable growth for CNSM. Please email your letter of interest and an abridged CV to aprakash@alaska.edu with a CC to jahoppough@alaska.edu by 5 pm on June 3, 2022.

UAF will conduct a search for the permanent CNSM dean in Spring 2023.
