Bsu Gets First Woman Dean

Jane Ollenburger has become the first woman to head up a college at Boise State University as the new dean of Social Sciences and Public Affairs.

“She has broad administrative experience, including leadership posts at the department, college and university levels,” said Daryl Jones, Boise State vice president for academic affairs.

Ollenburger, 40, will replace Warren Vinz, the former history department chair who has been interim dean since last July.

Ollenburger is dean of academic administration in Duluth and head of the sociology-anthropology department.
