²ÝݮӰÊÓ Bids Farewell to Three Iconic Deans

Share this page:

Deans Linda Duncan, Craig Johnson, and Wesley Lindahl are retiring after a combined 70 years of service to the ²ÝݮӰÊÓ community.

Dean Duncan’s 40-plus-year-tenure in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences brought many changes since she began, when the University had just one nursing lab. Now, the school boasts the state-of-the-art Kathy J. Holmgren Nursing Simulation Lab, among other new facilities.

Dean Johnson was at the helm during the formation of the School of Music, Art, and Theatre in 2016 and led the renovations of Hanson Hall, completed in December 2017. He has been in education for 44 years, serving at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ since 2011.

Dean Lindahl was the founding Dean of the School of Business and Nonprofit Management. During his 17-year career at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ, Lindahl helped ²ÝݮӰÊÓ secure a $750,000 grant from the Lilly Foundation to fund the Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management.
