APRIL 1, 2004 -- Professor Margaret Gale, Michigan Tech's associate dean of forest resources and environmental science, has agreed to serve as interim dean during Glenn Mroz's appointment as interim president, Provost Kent Wray has announced.
"I'm very fortunate to be able to enlist the talents of Peg Gale," said Wray. "She has been very effective as associate dean. Plus, she knows how the university works and can work well with people."
Before being named associate dean of forest resources and environmental science, Gale served as the School's graduate program coordinator. While her research focuses primarily on wetlands issues, she has coauthored more than 40 articles and reports on a variety of topics relating to forest and wetland ecology.
She teaches graduate classes on research methods and experimental design including an upper-division wetland ecology class, as well as undergraduate and graduate seminar courses. She has advised over 25 graduate students and has brought in over $1.1 million of research funds since coming to Michigan Tech.
Gale received the School's Distinguished Teaching Award in 1990 and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education Faculty Fellowship Award in 1994. In addition, she was honored in 1997 by the Society of American Foresters for her contributions to the development and coordination of ecology terminology.
Gale earned a BS in Forestry and an MS in Forest Management at Michigan Tech before completing her PhD in Production Ecology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. She returned to MTU as an assistant professor in 1987 and attained the rank of professor in 1999. |
