Marty Loy named CPS dean
Marty Loy, associate dean of UWSP’s School of Health Promotion and Human Development
since 2002, has been appointed dean of the College of Professional Studies. CPS includes
eight academic units, 15 different undergraduate majors, 17 minors and six graduate programs,
enrolling about 2,880 undergraduates and 1,200 graduate and continuing education students."My wife, Becky, and I have enjoyed being part of Central Wisconsin and UWSP, and we are excited to continue our work with the community and on campus," Loy said.
"I am looking forward to working with the many outstanding departments and programs within the college to continue our history of excellence," he added.
Interim Chancellor Mark Nook noted that Loy’s experience will be crucial at this time of growth in professional studies.
"Particularly in key program areas like our School of Business and Economics and in the delivery of health-professions education in which our region needs more of the expertise and experiences UWSP can provide, Marty’s understanding of Central Wisconsin and his strong relationships across the faculty will help keep us moving forward," Nook said.
Loy began his service to UWSP as head wrestling coach and lecturer in 1987. He was named an assistant professor in 1998 and coordinated the Focus on Teaching Program. He is a recipient of the UWSP Excellence in Teaching Award and has written numerous articles and papers in the areas of faculty development and childhood and adolescent grief. Marty and Becky Loy founded Camp HOPE, a program that assists grieving children and their families.
Loy, originally from Spring Green, earned his doctorate in education administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a master’s in education counseling from UW-Oshkosh, and a bachelor’s from UW-Madison.
