    Dr. Debra Moddelmog, the Dean of the UNR College of Liberal Arts for the past six years, has announced her retirement. In celebration of this, we sit down with her to reflect on her journey from undergraduate studies all the way to the office of the dean. We hear what it takes in order to perform the job of dean, and what it takes to bring about the monumental changes Dean Moddelmog has overseen in her time. We thank Dean Moddelmog for all the work she has done and all the opportunities she has created, including the creation of this show, and we look forward to her continued career in academic research.
