UC Clermont welcomes new associate dean
The University of Cincinnati Clermont College has appointed longtime faculty member Krista Clark, PhD, to associate dean of academic affairs.
Clark has served UC Clermont as a professor of biology for 18 years, including as chair of the college’s Science and Health Department for nine years. In December 2023, Clark stepped into the role of associate dean of academic affairs.
Prior to joining the college, Clark taught courses at Miami University and completed her post-doctoral fellowship in cardiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
“I have been lucky to work for the last 18 years with amazing people here at UC Clermont,” Clark said. “We have outstanding faculty and staff who work together toward the same goal — to create transformative experiences for our students and demonstrate the incredible educational opportunities that we offer. I am excited to continue to broaden collaborations within our college and across the university.”
Clark earned a bachelor’s degree from DePauw University and completed her PhD in biology at Kansas State University in 2003. Beyond academia, Clark has lived in the Mt. Washington community for the past 20 years along with her husband and three children. Her commitment to education and strategic leadership serves as the focus for her continued work at the college.
“We are excited to have Krista move into the role of chief academic officer for UC Clermont,” said Dean Jeff Bauer. “She has been an integral part of the college for many years, and her knowledge of the sciences combined with academic program development and advancement will help the college navigate the challenges that lie ahead. I look forward to the impact that her leadership will have on students and the college now and in the future.”
