Provost Names Choi as Dean of Engineering
The School of Engineering is delighted to welcome Dr. Mun Choi as Dean, effective January 2008. UConn Provost Dr. Peter Nicholls announced Dr. Choi’s appointment, the culmination of an extensive national search, in early July. Dr. Erling Smith will continue as Interim Dean through the end of 2007.
During interviews and campus visits, Dr. Choi was impressed with the University culture and focus on both research and instructional distinction. “The excellent reputation of the faculty and their scholarly activities, the high quality of undergraduate and graduate students, the strong commitments from the upper administration, and active and loyal alumni groups were important elements that attracted me to UConn,” said Dr. Choi.
