Dear students,

I write to share that following a national search, Andrew Ketsdever, dean of academic affairs at OSU-Cascades has been named the new dean of the College of Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona.

I thank Andrew for his dedicated and tireless leadership to OSU-Cascades over the past five years. OSU-Cascades and the greater university have benefitted from Andrew’s expertise and innovative-thinking as a noted mechanical and aerospace engineer, as well as from his positive and caring engagement with students.

Andrew joined OSU-Cascades in 2018 as associate academic dean, was promoted to dean of academic affairs in 2020, and stepped into the interim campus leadership role in May 2021 after Becky Johnson was named the university’s interim president.

news release on Andrew’s Cal Poly appointment will be distributed later today.

A national search will be launched in the coming weeks for OSU-Cascades’ next chief academic officer.

Please join me and in wishing Andrew and his family much success.

Sincerely,

Sherman H. Bloomer, Chancellor and Dean
