El-adaway named inaugural associate dean for academic partnerships
Posted by Kimber Crull
Missouri S&T leaders plan to develop additional academic partnerships with corporations and industry groups, and they appointed Dr. Islam El-adaway to spearhead the efforts.
El-adaway, who is S&T’s Hurst-McCarthy Professor of Civil Engineering, will take on an additional role as associate dean for academic partnerships for the College of Engineering and Computing. He starts his new duties on Friday, Sept. 1.
“Dr. El-adaway is a perfect fit for this position,” says Dr. David Borrok, vice provost and dean of the college. “He has already been successful in establishing meaningful partnerships with dozens of companies in the construction industry and is well-prepared and positioned to expand his focus to our corporate education initiatives.”
El-adaway says he will first focus on the St. Louis area and eventually collaborate with partners in Kansas City and other urban areas that would benefit from Missouri S&T programs.
