University of Iowa Graduate College Dean and Associate Provost John Keller has announced his retirement.

Keller says he will be stepping down on July 31st, and believes the time is right, given the upcoming change in administration at the University.

Keller has been at the UI for 33 years, and became interim Graduate College Dean in 2000. He took over the position full-time two years later. He will remain on the faculty as a tenured professor and avail himself as a special assistant to the provost.

The university says it hopes to fill Keller’s position via internal search.
