Thank you to Registry Member Nasser Momayezi for reflecting on his experience as Interim Dean College of Arts and Sciences at Fort Valley State University. We are thrilled to hear he’s enjoying his placement and has already achieved so much. We wish him all the best as he finishes his assignment!

"I was initially appointed as the Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Fort Valley State University from August 2024 to December 2025. However, I was asked to extend my service as interim dean until the end of June 2025. During this brief period, I made it a priority to connect with key university administrators and faculty within the college. Together, we began several important projects, including the launch of the Master of Public Administration (MPA) program and the development of new degree programs in Bachelor of Science in Health Administration and Cybersecurity Management.

Additionally, we focused on preparing for the accreditation of the Nursing and Master of Social Work (MSW) programs. Collaborating with department chairs, we developed strategies to increase student retention and graduation rates, as well as creating attractive flyers for each major offered in the college. I am proud to say that we have accomplished most of these initiatives, and I am confident we will complete all of them before my term ends. Serving at Fort Valley State University has been a tremendously rewarding experience, and I am grateful to The Registry for this opportunity. I look forward to the challenges ahead."
