Senior Associate Dean's Welcome Message

Dr. Laura Linnan
Welcome to the Gillings School!
As the senior associate dean for academic and student affairs, I am entrusted with overseeing efforts to: appoint and promote Gillings School faculty; support faculty growth and development; maintain and improve quality and cohesion of existing academic programs; develop new academic programs; and provide direction to the Gillings School’s Office of Student Affairs.
The resources provided by Academic Affairs are designed to help you get oriented to the Gillings School – but you will find them useful at every juncture of your career, including critical information about people and resources that can help support you; policies and procedures of the Gillings School and the University; and other essential information for faculty at all ranks.
We warmly invite you to seek out the excellent leaders and staff throughout the Gillings School’s administration with your questions, concerns and engagement.
Warmly,
Laura Linnan
