Interim Dean Named
The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences has selected an interim dean effective July 1. Dr. Edmund Tsang currently serves as associate dean for the college. He will take the place of departing Dean, Dr. Anthony Vizzini.

Vizzini will be leaving at the end of June to being his new role of vice president for academic affairs at Wichita State University.

Tsang, a
 professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, has served as associate dean for undergraduate programs and assessment in the engineering college since 2001. He came to WMU from the University of South Alabama, where he had been a faculty member in mechanical engineering since 1980. Prior to that, he was a post-doctoral research fellow at Freie University in Berlin and a faculty member at the University of Nebraska.

At WMU, Tsang has been instrumental in developing first-year engineering seminars and creating a learning community to improve retention and graduation rates among engineering students. He also has helped run a statewide effort—the Lewis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation—designed to increase graduation rates among minorities in the STEM disciplines—science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
