Dr. Paul Sisson, formerly chair of the LSUS Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, was named dean of the LSUS College of Sciences, effective April 19, replacing Dr. Al Vekovius, who is retiring.

In making the announcement, Dr. Stuart Mills, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, said the College of Sciences “will surely benefit from Dr. Sisson's energy, wisdom, and leadership. He served as chair of the two departments (Mathematics and Computer Science) for the past four years and succeeded in developing exciting new initiatives in both departments.”

Sisson, a professor of mathematics, joined LSUS in August 1993 after receiving his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of South Carolina. He has published several articles in respected mathematics journals, and has two textbooks currently in print.
