This Week @ AU

AU Provost John Heilman announced Wednesday that Auburn professor George Flowers has been named dean of the Graduate School after a national search. As dean, Flowers will supervise a staff of 13 charged with the admission, advisement and graduation activities for all graduate students. He also will chair the graduate council, which oversees graduate faculty credentialing, curriculum and program reviews. Flowers, an Alumni Professor in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering's Department of Mechanical Engineering, served as acting associate dean of the Graduate School from 2005-06. He has served as interim dean of the school with Joe Pittman since August 2006. He joined the Auburn faculty in 1990 after working with the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of South Florida. Flowers earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1984 at Auburn, followed by a master's degree in 1985 and a doctorate in 1988 at Georgia Tech, both in mechanical engineering.
