When Dale Greene took up residence in the dean’s office in 2015, he didn’t realize he’d oversee what on the outside appears to be a lot of faculty turnover. In reality, he just became dean at a time when many longtime Warnell professors hit the magical age of retirement, many retiring after literally decades of service to the University of Georgia.

It’s been hard to see so many respected faculty members leave, Greene said, especially when they’ve had such powerful impacts on natural resources research and the students who’ve passed through Warnell’s halls.
