Dr. Patricia Biesiot, associate dean at the University of Southern Mississippi's College of Science and Technology, will serve as interim dean during the college's period of transition.
Biesiot will take over the dean's role from Dr. Joe B. Whitehead, Jr., who left USM on July 31 to accept a position as Provost at North Carolina A&T State University. Whitehead was appointed interim dean of the College of Science and Technology in August 2009 and became dean in March 2010.
Biesiot has served on the USM faculty for more than 23 years.
The transition plan also includes appointments of Dr. Chris Winstead as interim associate dean and Dr. Jeffrey Evans as health care pre-professional advisor.
USM officials say a national search will be conducted this fall for a permanent dean.
