Dr. Dodge retiring in July

You may have seen the big news out of our department last week; in a letter to campus, President Pines shared that Vice President for Belonging Georgina Dodge will be retiring on July 4.

“I’ve loved being a part of and serving the University of Maryland community over these past years,” Dr. Dodge shared, “and I am also looking forward to retirement so I can spend lots of time outdoors with my dog!”

Assistant Vice President for Belonging Dr. Stephanie H. Chang will serve as interim vice president as our work serving the entire campus community continues. Congratulations, Dr. Dodge!
