Deans Linda Duncan, Craig Johnson, and Wesley Lindahl are retiring after a combined 70 years of service to the North Park community.
Dean Duncan鈥檚 40-plus-year-tenure in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences brought many changes since she began, when the University had just one nursing lab. Now, the school boasts the state-of-the-art Kathy J. Holmgren Nursing Simulation Lab, among other new facilities.
Dean Johnson was at the helm during the formation of the School of Music, Art, and Theatre in 2016 and led the renovations of Hanson Hall, completed in December 2017. He has been in education for 44 years, serving at North Park since 2011.
Dean Lindahl was the founding Dean of the School of Business and Nonprofit Management. During his 17-year career at North Park, Lindahl helped North Park secure a $750,000 grant from the Lilly Foundation to fund the Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management.
