See the link below. From the article:
“UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Karen Kim, vice provost for research at the University of Chicago, has been named dean of Penn State College of Medicine, effective Sept. 1. Kim was selected following a national search, and will succeed Kevin Black, who has served as interim dean since 2019.
Kim is the Sara and Harold Lincoln Thompson Professor of Medicine, associate director of community outreach and engagement for the National Cancer Institute-designated University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center, and founder and director of the Center for Asian Health Equity at the University of Chicago. She previously served as inaugural dean for faculty affairs for the university’s Division of Biological Sciences. Her educational and research interests include health disparities, cancer prevention and control, population and precision health, and implementation and dissemination science. Kim brings more than 25 years of wide-ranging clinical, educational and research expertise with her to this crucial leadership role at Penn State and is a nationally recognized leader in Asian health disparities.”
A hire from U. of Chicago is good look for a cow college with alums who look like us. A side benefit is she may be able to teach Penn State how to move on from “college” athletics.
