In the summer of 2020, GSO Dean Bruce Corliss will take one final look out of his office window across a sweeping view of Narragansett Bay\u2019s West Passage, and place an envelope on the top of his desk. Before he steps down from his position of eight years, GSO\u2019s fifth dean will perhaps start a new tradition by leaving an encouraging note for the incoming sixth dean.<\/p>\n

By any measure, Dean Corliss has had a major impact during his tenure. With a new research vessel set to arrive in 2023, a campus master plan with multiple construction projects in the works, and after bringing in numerous new faculty and staff, he leaves behind a school and campus poised for a bright future.<\/p>\n

Dean Corliss spoke about his journey from student to dean of GSO, the changes he\u2019s seen at the Narragansett Bay Campus and the future of both the school and oceanography.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
