LOGAN — Utah State University has selected Maura E. Hagan as the new dean of the College of Science.

Hagan replaces interim College of Science dean and chemistry and biochemistry professor Lisa Berreau, who took over from retiring Dean Jim MacMahon in July 2014.

Hagan will work collaboratively with college leadership to foster student success, promote ongoing faculty development, maintain a culture of educational assessment and improvement, and ensure consistency of science programs and instruction throughout all USU locations and teaching centers, university officials said.

Hagan leaves her post at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, where she mostly recently served as interim director since 2013. Prior to that, she was deputy director at the same organization.
