CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University’s College of Forestry Dean Thomas Maness announced this week his intention to begin immediately an approximate six-month change in responsibilities to attend to personal matters.

As a result, from January 17 to June 30, Executive Associate Dean Anthony S. Davis will serve as acting dean of the college 

The temporary changes occurs at a very important time within the college, as it continues to work on the Oregon Forest Science Complex and expand on the excellent teaching, research, and outreach and engagement that has built one of the finest forestry programs in the world and a source of great pride for Oregon State University.

Maness is expected to return to serving as dean by July 1, at which time, Davis will return to his executive associate dean role.
