HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Dr. Betsy Ennis Dulin, associate dean of Marshall University's College of Information Technology and Engineering (CITE), has been selected to lead the college as its new dean, Dr. Sarah Denman, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, announced today.

Dulin replaces Dr. James W. Hooper, who stepped down earlier this month. He had served as the college's dean since its inception in 1998. A seven-year member of the Marshall University faculty, Dulin is a Registered Professional Engineer and Licensed Attorney who has worked in the fields of environmental compliance and engineering. She is a former member of the West Virginia Environmental Quality Board and currently serves on the boards of the National Institute for Chemical Studies and the West Virginia Chemical Alliance Zone.

"Marshall's College of Information Technology and Engineering has grown rapidly during the last several years, and I look forward to an even more exciting future for the college as we continue to respond to the changing needs of the state, region, and beyond," Dulin said.

A native of eastern Kanawha County, Dulin earned a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering from the West Virginia Institute of Technology and a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. She completed her education at Washington and Lee University, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree.

Dulin and her husband, John, reside in Charleston with their sons, Jack and Sam.
