The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee invites nominations and applications for the position of Dean of the College of Health Sciences (CHS). The College seeks a vibrant leader who will build on its past record of success to provide leadership. UWM's CHS (http://www4.uwm.edu/chs/) is one of the largest colleges in the state and region that prepares students for careers in the health professions and health sciences.
