Andrew M. Hoffman reappointed dean of Penn Vet
Andrew M. Hoffman’s service as dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine has been extended to June 30, 2030.
His reappointment as the Gilbert S. Kahn Dean was announced by Interim President J. Larry Jameson and Provost John L. Jackson Jr. and is subject to approval by the Board of Trustees.
“Dean Hoffman is an empathetic, visionary, and effective leader who will steer the School to continued success,” Jameson said. “His first term has been marked by substantial enhancements to the educational, clinical, and research strengths of the Penn Vet community.”
In March 2024, the Consultative Review Committee began work on a comprehensive review of Hoffman’s major first-term accomplishments. The charge further required the Committee to identify emerging challenges and opportunities facing the School and to review carefully the aims of In Principle and Practice, the University’s strategic framework.
