Clemson University’s Office of the Provost is launching a national search for the dean of the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences.
This search follows the recent announcement that the College of Agriculture, Forestry and Life Sciences (CAFLS) and the University’s Division of Public Service and Agriculture (PSA) will merge into one administrative and academic unit.
The integration of PSA and CAFLS will optimize the work of both areas and support the University’s strategic vision, Clemson Elevate, and its land-grant mission to provide world-class teaching, research and public service to the state.
On-campus interviews will occur in spring 2024.
