After three years as the University of Guelph’s Dean of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Mary Wells has returned to the University of Waterloo to serve as the new Dean of Engineering.
Starting July 1st, she began her five-year appointment and will be Waterloo Engineering's ninth dean, the second woman to hold the post succeeding Pearl Sullivan, and interim dean Rick Culham.
Prior to joining the University of Guelph, Wells was a University of Waterloo faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering for 10 years, beginning in 2007.
"This passion and potential within Waterloo Engineering are what excites me the most and makes me feel energized to continue to guide Waterloo Engineering in its rich tradition of being an unconventional leader in engineering education and research," said Wells.
Welcome back to the University of Waterloo Dean Wells, we look forward to collaborating.
