Dear UNT Faculty, 

As many of you know, this spring, Faculty Success engaged multiple stakeholders across the university in discussions regarding renaming UNT’s non-tenure track faculty.

Vice Provost Holly Hutchins also sought feedback from the Non-Tenure Track Faculty Resource Group, Faculty Senate and examined data from UNT’s recent COACHE climate survey, with the goal of finding a term that defines these crucial members of our faculty by what they are, rather than what they are not.

Dear Faculty and Staff,

Please join me in welcoming Paul S. Krueger as the new dean of UNT’s College of Engineering. He will begin his appointment June 1.

Dr. Krueger will oversee the college’s innovative curriculum, expansive research enterprise, thriving local and global partnerships, and interdisciplinary labs and initiatives. The College of Engineering is home to world-class faculty and staff and boasts some of UNT’s fastest growing programs, and I am excited to see it continue to thrive under his leadership.

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am delighted to share that, after a thorough search process that included open forums with candidates from across the nation, Lisa McIntyre has been selected as UNT’s new vice provost for student success. Her appointment begins June 5. 

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am pleased to share that John Quintanilla has been selected as the new dean of the College of Science. Dr. Quintanilla, who has served as interim dean since last June, will step into the role permanently, effective April 1.

Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,

It is my pleasure to announce that Albert Bimper has been selected as the new executive dean of UNT’s College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. He will join us July 1.

Dr. Bimper is an experienced administrator and dedicated scholar-educator — a combination that will make him a tremendous asset to our largest and most eclectic college, and to our university community. His deep knowledge of the academy and collaborative approach will lend themselves well to the diverse array of programs in CLASS.

Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,

Dear UNT Faculty and Staff,

In August, the Office of the Provost hosted three candidates in open forums as part of our search for the next vice provost for student success. While we appreciated each candidate’s unique strengths, we did not feel any of them were the right fit for such an important role.

Dear Faculty and Academic Staff,

After careful consideration, I am honored to announce interim deans for the Colleges of Engineering and Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.

Dr. Shengli Fu, chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering, will serve as interim dean of the College of Engineering after Dean Hanchen Huang’s departure on July 15.
