Drexel is welcoming several new deans this year.
Charles B. Cairns became the Annenberg Dean and Senior Vice President of the College of Medicine in April. Cairns succeeds Daniel V. Schidlow, who has retired. Before coming to Drexel, Cairns was dean of the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) in Abu Dhabi.
In addition, Penny Hammrich was named dean of the School of Education after a stint as interim dean. Before that, she was a professor and associate dean of academic affairs and graduate studies.
They join Norma Bouchard, who recently took over Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences after serving as dean of the College of Arts and Letters at San Diego State University.
