VINCENNES, Ind. - Mandy Haag has been appointed the Interim Dean of the Vincennes University College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics. The Vincennes native will replace Curt Coffman, who has accepted a position with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish.

Interim Provost and Vice President for Instructional Services Jaci Lee Lederman said, "Mandy Haag's deep commitment to her students and extensive history at Vincennes University make her the ideal choice for interim dean. Her dedication to the University Community and the Vincennes community will be a tremendous asset to the College of SEM."

Haag possesses a wealth of educational experience and demonstrates a profound devotion to ensuring student success. She has been a full-time faculty member since 2012, teaching business mathematics and college algebra courses. She has also served as a dedicated advisor for students pursuing pre-professional medical majors in Pre-Veterinary and Pre-Veterinary Technology within the College of SEM. Additionally, she has advised walk-in students at the Student Success Center in the summers.

"I am excited for this new chapter and hope to continue to show that women can be an integral part in all STEM fields," Haag said. "Most of all, I hope that I have shown my children, as my own parents did, that nothing comes easy. But with hard work, grit, and determination, you can do anything."

Her career in education spans over two decades, beginning in 1999 at New Harmony High School. Haag taught mathematics and coached volleyball at Vincennes Rivet High School before joining VU in 2004. She served as an adjunct instructor and professional tutor while earning a Master of Arts in Mathematics Education from Western Governors University in 2007.

VU looks forward to Haag's leadership in her new role and is confident her dedication and experience will significantly benefit the College of SEM and its students.
