Virginia Tech announced Tuesday that Ron Fricker, senior associate dean of the College of Science, has been named as interim dean, effective Jan. 4.
Fricker succeeds Dean Sally C. Morton, who is leaving to become executive vice president of the Knowledge Enterprise at Arizona State University at the end of 2020. She served as dean of Tech’s College of Science for four-and-a-half years.
“I am proud of what my colleagues in the College of Science have accomplished in the past several years,” Morton said in a statement. “Science has always been a foundation of what makes Virginia Tech great, and I think our work has elevated the idea that scientific excellence is essential to the university’s future.”
