The University of Washington Board of Regents today approved the creation of a College of the Environment, a unit with the potential to be one of the nation's largest programs focused on environmental science, policy and management.
Dennis Hartmann, professor and past chair of atmospheric sciences, has been named interim dean of the new college, subject to approval by the regents at their July meeting. Hartmann will help conduct discussions to formulate the new college's mission, configuration and academic programs as well as determine which units want to join the new venture.
"The regents' approval today allows us to continue the intense discussions needed to build the best environmental college in the country," said Provost Phyllis Wise, who presented the proposal to the regents.
