UNC has named Dr. Ken May as the interim dean at the UNC School of Dentistry.
May joined the UNC School of Dentistry in 1976, according to the university, after earning his undergraduate degree and doctorate at UNC.
UNC Provost Jim Dean said in the release:
“Dr. May will provide excellent leadership, as he has with his numerous appointments at the School. We will provide him with every form of support as we search for a permanent dean.”
A release says a nationwide search for a permanent replacement is already underway with the goal of having the position filled starting in January 2017, which is when May is planning to retire.
Dr. Jane Weintraub announced in December she would be stepping down from dean, a position she held for five years, in order to return to teaching and research.
May has served as interim dean once before.
