VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV)— Mandy Haag has been named the Interim Dean of the Vincennes University College of Science, Engineering, and Mathematics (SEM).
Haag, a Vincennes native, will replace Curt Coffman, who accepted a position with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Haag has been a full-time faculty member at the university since 2012, teaching business mathematics and college algebra courses. In 2019, Haag also took on the role of Mathematics Department Chair and has served as an advisor for students pursuing pre-professional medical majors in Pre-Veterinary and Pre-Veterinary Technology within the College of SEM.
“I am excited for this new chapter and hope to continue to show that women can be an integral part in all STEM fields,” Haag said. “Most of all, I hope that I have shown my children, as my own parents did, that nothing comes easy. But with hard work, grit, and determination, you can do anything.”
Haag’s career in education spans 26 years, beginning at New Harmony High School in 1999. She also taught mathematics and coached volleyball at Vincennes Rivet High School before joining the university in 2004. There, she served as an adjunct instructor and professional tutor while earning a Master of Arts in Mathematics Education from Western Governors University in 2007.
Interim Provost and Vice President for Instructional Services Jaci Lee Lederman said, “Mandy Haag’s deep commitment to her students and extensive history at Vincennes University make her the ideal choice for interim dean. Her dedication to the University Community and the Vincennes community will be a tremendous asset to the College of SEM.”
