Dr. Allison Dunn – Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications.
Dr. Allison Dunn was recently appointed as the Associate Department Head for Undergraduate Programs. In this role, Dr. Dunn works with other faculty and leadership within the department to achieve the academic goals of the department. Specifically, Dr. Dunn provides leadership to the cultivation and implementation of the three undergraduate majors and five undergraduate minors housed within our department. This includes overseeing the scheduling of classes, representing the department at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Undergraduate Program Council, co-chairing the department’s Curriculum Committee, nominating students for college and university awards, and working with students and faculty on a range of processes related to undergraduate education.
The 2023-2024 academic year marks the start of her 26th year in higher education and her 17th year at Texas A&M. Prior to joining the ALEC department, Dr Dunn spent 15 years working as a co-curricular leadership educator at institutions across the country. More recently, Dr. Dunn spent the last four years as the Team Leader for the Leadership Teaching Team in the department. In that role, Dr Dunn coordinated all programmatic assessment, facilitated teaching team meetings, and led the committee that revised the ALED degree plan that launched in 2022. In addition to her role as the Associate Department Head, Dr. Dunn also teaches courses in our Leadership Studies minor program and serves as the program’s academic advisor. She is looking forward to the opportunity to positively impact the undergraduate students in the department and support the faculty as we collectively move the department forward.
