Brock University has named its Acting Dean of Math and Science.
Professor Alan Castle, an award-winning scholar who has been part of Brock’s academic makeup for nearly 30 years, has been named to a one-year term as Acting Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Science.
The appointment was announced today by Interim University President Tom Traves.
The appointment takes effect Jan. 1, 2017, when Castle will replace the current Dean, Professor Ejaz Ahmed, who is taking a one-year administrative leave.
Ahmed is to return Jan. 1, 2018 to begin his second five-year term as dean.
Castle, a geneticist, has been a member of the Department of Biological Sciences since 1987.
“We are very fortunate to have someone as respected and experienced as Professor Castle to guide the Faculty during this time,” said Traves.
