Dr. Weismann brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having served in various capacities at Williston State College for over 13 years. Her extensive background includes positions such as Professor of Communication, Chair of the Arts and Human Sciences Department, Faculty Senate President, Chair of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and Advisor for the Diversity Club.

"We are thrilled to have Dr. Weismann stepping into this leadership role at BSC," said Dr. Dan Leingang, BSC Vice President for Academic Affairs. "Her experience, vision, and dedication to student success make her an excellent fit to lead the Humanities, Arts, and Sciences division as we continue to innovate and grow."
