The University of California, Davis today (June 29) named Estella Atekwana, a dean and geophysicist from University of Delaware, as new dean of the College of Letters and Science (L&S), the largest of UC Davis' colleges and schools.
"We are thrilled to have Dr. Atekwana assume this key university post," said Mary Croughan, UC Davis provost and executive vice chancellor. "Her high scholarly distinction, administrative effectiveness, and commitment to diversity and inclusion will greatly benefit both L&S and the university." Estella Atekwana headshot Estella Atekwana
Atekwana has been at Delaware since 2017, as a faculty member in the Department of Earth Sciences and dean of the College of Earth, Ocean and Environment. Her accomplishments include building up the faculty ranks, implementing an early-career faculty development program, creating and funding a student success center and professional development program, establishing an eco-entrepreneurship program, launching a campus wide climate change initiative, and providing funding to support initiatives promoting inclusive excellence.
She will officially become L&S dean on August 1st. Ari Kelman, Chancellor's Leadership Professor of History, has been serving as interim dean since March 2020. "Little did Ari know we would be in a pandemic for the majority of his time leading the college," Croughan said. "He has done an extraordinary job under very challenging conditions, and we owe him enormous gratitude." Kelman will step into a new role, faculty advisor to the chancellor and provost, once Atekwana becomes dean.
