The college announced the appointment of six deans this week in conjunction with the establishment of the new academic schools of study.
“The deans are at the forefront of creating the academic path forward into the future for the college,” said Niles Reddick, vice president of academic affairs at ABAC. “Their collective experience as faculty and administrators allows for a smooth transition.”
The dean for the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources is Tim Marshall.

The dean for the School of Liberal Arts is Bobbie Robinson. Robinson has served as chair of the ABAC Division of Humanities since 2002.
