A new Health Sciences Center provost and senior vice president will be named July 1 to succeed current Joe Ferretti.
Dr. Dewayne Andrews has been recommended for the position by OU President David Boren in addition to his current role as executive dean of OU College of Medicine.
His appointment is contingent upon approval by the OU Board of Regents.
Andrews has served as the executive dean since 2002 and is also on the hospital staff of OU Medical Center.
Andrews was selected because of his outstanding leadership at the HSC and the College of Medicine, Boren said.
“After a broad consultation to assure a smooth transition and continued forward momentum, I have decided to recommend the appointment of Dr. Andrews to succeed Dr. Joe Ferretti as provost,” Boren said.
Andrews received his bachelor’s degree from Baylor University, and his medical degree from the OU College of Medicine.
He completed his postdoctoral training at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and the HSC, after joining the faculty in 1977 as assistant professor.
