Dean Emerson

This blog entry is dedicated entirely to my hard working husband. Back in September he was recognized for 10 years of service and dedication to Midwestern.  In just those 10 years he has come a long way from the professor he started out as and was tenured just a few years after starting at MWU.  He quickly moved into the Dean's office as Assistant Dean and shortly after that was promoted to Associate Dean.  He even had the responsibility of Acting Chair of the Pharmacy Practice Dept.  A lot of work pulling double duty and graciously doing so.  He has been the Chair of several committee's and back in 2012 he was awarded the Littlejohn Award for his tireless effort for getting the College of Pharmacy an accreditation of 8 years!  Over the holidays he had planned on some much needed R & R when on Christmas morning an unexpected change happened.  The Dean of the college announced his resignation effective almost immediately.  Later that day the president of the university contacted Mitch and shortly thereafter was appointed Interim Dean.  This is a big challenge and a huge honor and he is very excited to begin this new chapter in his career.  Quite an accomplishment for a 42 year old.  I am so extremely proud of him and wanted to share this fantastic news!
