Dean of College of Communication Arts and Sciences heading to Georgia

November 21, 2013

The dean of MSU’s College of Communication Arts & Sciences announced that she accepted a top administrative position at the University of Georgia Thursday afternoon in a letter to college faculty and staff.

Dean Pamela Whitten’s position as the vice president for academic affairs and provost for the University of Georgia will begin on Feb. 1. She has been a faculty member at MSU since 1998, when she started as an assistant professor.

“The relentless pursuit of excellence, integrity, strong work ethic and sense of fun embraced here at MSU has helped me flourish academically,” Whitten said in the letter.

Her departure will leave the university with three dean openings in its 17 colleges. Searches are in progress for deans of engineering and international studies and programs. MSU also is searching for a new provost.
