Dr. Susan Hansen, interim dean of the Division of Professional Studies retires

Susan Hansen

The UW-Platteville community offers a fond farewell to Dr. Susan Hansen, interim dean of the Division of Professional Studies, who retired from her position on Jan. 31.

Hansen first joined UW-Platteville in 1991. Since that time, she's worked as a professor, the director for the School of Business, the interim dean of BILSA, and as the associate vice chancellor of Academic Affairs. Throughout her distinguished career, Hansen shared her love of learning with others, guided with her exemplary leadership, and overall helped move the UW-Platteville community forward. Her pioneering spirit will be greatly missed.

“I have appreciated UW-Platteville because it’s large enough to provide a variety of opportunities, but small enough to create relationships with students, advisees, and fellow faculty and staff,” said Hansen. “I have come to love our campus and enjoy the working relationships built over the years. In every change this campus has gone through since 1991, the one consistent thread is that people really care about this place.”
