Leadership Transition in UW College of Engineering and Physical Sciences

The University of Wyoming is transitioning leadership in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences.

Cameron Wright, who has served as dean of the college starting on an interim basis since 2019 and dean since 2022, has returned to the faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Interim Provost Scott Turpen expects to identify an interim dean from within the college for consideration by the UW Board of Trustees during its April 16 regular conference call meeting.

"We appreciate Dr. Wright's service to the university and the college," Turpen says. "At this time, the university believes a change in leadership is needed for this important college to progress further and to achieve the aspirations of the Tier-1 Engineering Initiative."
