Martin Chair of Law Andrea L. Dennis has been named the School of Law's new associate dean for faculty development. As associate dean, she will work closely with the law school's faculty to promote world-class scholarship, to support the pursuit of extramural funding, to oversee promotion and tenure matters and to work with the other associate and assistant deans on strategic initiatives. Dennis will assume the role on July 1, when Kirbo Chair Elizabeth Weeks - the current holder of the position - takes on the role of UGA's associate provost for faculty affairs.
