CNSM Dean Paul Layer has been appointed as the interim vice president for academic and student affairs at the University of Alaska. That position was vacated when Daniel M. White became chancellor at UAF. Layer’s duties will begin Monday, Nov. 13.

The temporary assignment will allow UA more time to select a permanent vice president in spring 2018. Provost Susan Henrichs will assemble a committee to conduct an internal search to fill the CNSM dean position on an interim basis.
