Dean Davies talks curriculum, community engagement, and online excellence

In July, Tulane announced that Susan Davies, associate dean of research at the School of Social Work, would assume the role of interim dean of the school.

Davies, a public health behavioral scientist, joined Tulane in 2020 after a distinguished 30-year career at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) where she held numerous scientific appointments including at UAB’s Center for AIDS Research, Minority Health Research Center and Center for Clinical and Translational Science. As associate dean at Tulane, she helped to lead the creation of the School of Social Work’s Office of Research.

Now as interim dean, Davies plans to lead the school for the next two years while a search for a permanent dean launches in fall 2025.
