<p class="MsoNormal">I am very happy to announce Ryan Marek, Ph.D., will be joining our faculty in the Fall. He comes to us from the SHSU College of Medicine. He is an accomplished researcher, dedicated educator, and skilled clinician; his presence will be
a boon to faculty and students. Dr. Marek will be assigned primarily to the doctoral program, although I am sure he will make contributions across the entire department.

<p class="MsoNormal">I have included Dr. Marek on this message in the hopes we can provide him a warm welcome!<o:p></o:p></p>
