David Flaspohler has been appointed as the new Dean of the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Sciences at Michigan Technological University. Flaspohler, who has been serving as the interim Dean since 2022, was selected after a national search and will bring a sense of leadership and experience to the institution.

Flaspohler has been a part of the university since 1998 and holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Wildlife Ecology and a Master of Science in Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development from the University of Wisconsin. The Provost and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, Andrew Storer, expressed his gratitude to the search committee for identifying Flaspohler’s qualities that will benefit the college.
