Dr. Kathy Salisbury

Today, we express our deepest appreciation for Dr. Kathy Salisbury who has so skillfully filled the dual roles of Interim Dean and Associate Dean for Academic Affairs over the past several months during the search for our college’s new Dean. As one staff member shared, “I want to express my sincere thanks to Interim Dean Salisbury for her remarkable dedication and commitment. She has gone above and beyond in fulfilling these two pivotal roles and her unwavering care for our students, faculty, and staff is evident in every aspect of her work, as she continues to provide her support while promoting a culture of excellence in the College. Her leadership and thorough attention have guided the College through significant change, helping to sustain an environment that encourages growth and collaboration.”

We are truly grateful for the positive impact Dr. Salisbury has made—and continues to make—on the lives of everyone in our college community.

Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today?
