BOTHELL — The University of Washington Board of Regents has approved a proposal to name deans to two schools recently named at the University of Washington Bothell.
David Allen is the head of the School of Nursing and Health Studies. Bradley Portin is the head of the School of Educational Studies. Both previously held the title of director of their respective programs.
Neither received a pay raise with the change of their titles.
Allen arrived at the UW Seattle School of Nursing as Chair of Psychosocial Nursing in 1988. Later he chaired the Department of Psychosocial and Community Health in Seattle’s School of Nursing.
He was also adjunct professor in Women Studies. Allen was chair of Women Studies, which became Gender, Women &Sexuality Studies, from 2005 until 2012.
He assumed the role as Director of Nursing and Health Studies Program at UW Bothell in 2012.
Portin arrived at UW Bothell in 2009. He holds appointments as an adjunct professor for the UW Seattle College of Education, and as an interdisciplinary faculty member for the UW Seattle Museology Program.
Portin is on the editorial board for the journal, Educational Assessment, Evaluation and Accountability, and has held visiting professorships in Norway, England, and the United Arab Emirates.
The University of Washington Bothell was created as a branch campus of the University of Washington with academic programs, rather than schools. Twenty-five years later, all programs at UW Bothell are now schools led by deans.
With more than 4,900 students, UW Bothell is the fastest-growing public university in the state of Washington and the fourth fastest growing university in the country.
The titles for Allen and Portin will change Dec. 16.
