In an effort to ensure there will be no lapse in leadership within the Division of Agriculture at Oklahoma State University this summer when Dr. Robert Whitson officially steps down from his post as the Dean and Vice President of DASNR, OSU Provost Dr.Robert Sternberg has announced that Dr. Mike Woods will serve as interim Vice President/Dean once Dr. Whitson's office is vacant.
Earlier this year, Dean Whitson announced he would retire from his position as Vice President/Dean of the Division of Agriculture this coming summer.
In a Memorandum that has been circulated to OSU Faculty, Staff, Students and Alumni, Dr. Sternberg offered the following statement:
"After thoughtful review of input provided from faculty, staff, the DASNR Faculty Council, and members of the DASNR leadership team, as well as meetings and/or phone conversations with friends external to the college, Dr. Mike Woods has been asked to serve as Interim Vice President and Dean of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Dr. Woods has accepted this assignment to be effective on or about August 1, and he will hold the position until a permanent VP/Dean takes office."
Dr. Woods serves as the Department Head for the Ag Economics Department within the Division- and has been heavily involved through the years in rural development efforts within the state of Oklahoma.
