Meet Dan Kashian, environmental science program director
Introducing our new program director, Dan Kashian
At the end of the spring/summer 2016 semester, our founding program director for the Environmental Science Program, Lawrence (Larry) Lemke, left Wayne State University to take the position of department chair at Central Michigan University for their Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
