There’s a new dean on the job at Wright State’s Lake Campus.
Jay Albayyari took over for Bonnie Mathies who retired recently. Albayyari had been acting dean since April 1 and was able to work alongside Mathies who helped him transition into the position.
Albayyari had previously held positions at IPFW in Fort Wayne.
He says the biggest challenge he faces is bringing cultural diversity to the campus.
