In an email sent to students,

faculty and staff in the school,

Dworkin announced that he

has mixed emotions about his

resignation.

“It is necessary for me to have

the opportunity to focus more on

my family, and this step reflects a

joint family decision on our part,”

he wrote in the announcement. “I

appreciate your understanding about

this, and my need for privacy on this

matter.”

Dworkin was the first African-

American man to lead the program,

and he was approved by the Board

of Regents for the position in March

of 2015.

In his resignation

announcement, Dworkin stated

he will work as a faculty member

teaching creative entrepreneurship

and arts leadership courses in the

fall. He will also help with the

transition for the interim dean.

“I look forward to supporting the

interim dean, as well as furthering

the field of creative entrepreneurship

and arts leadership for the broader

university community,” he wrote.

The interim provost, Paul

Courant, is set to recommend

an interim dean in the coming

months, and he will lead a national

search to appoint the next dean.

The University Record reported

that Courant reached out to Music,

Theatre & Dance faculty and staff

to ask for recommendations for

potential search advisory committee

members.

In the announcement,

Dworkin highlighted some of

the Music, Theatre & Dance

School’s accomplishments that he

witnessed while he was part of the

staff, including the creation of the

Department of Chamber Music,

and the increase in community

engagement activities for the school,

to name a few.

“I am honored to have been part

of the tremendous evolution of our

school over these past two years,

which has been extraordinarily

exciting, and has included so many

successes on the part of so many

students, faculty, and staff,” he wrote.

Dworkin has spent some time

at the University of Michigan, as he

obtained a bachelor’s degree and

master of fine arts degree in violin

performance from the University.

“From my time as a student

once upon a time to my role as dean,

the School of Music, Theatre &

Dance—which means the people

who comprise our school— has

transformed my life, as I know it has

for so many of you,” he wrote.

RE LIGION AND SCIE NCE

After seven years of planning

and design, the University of
Michigan Nuclear Engineering
Laboratory
building
reopened

Monday afternoon, complete with
more space and renovations in its
laboratories, offices, conference
rooms and collaboration rooms for
students.

Previously, the building housed

the decommissioned Ford Nuclear
Reactor, which shut down in the
early 2000s.

Electrical
Engineering
Prof.

David Munson, Jr., a former dean of
engineering, said he was involved
in
the
building’s
historically

relevant renovations.

“It was constructed sometime

after World War II and there
was a research effort that was
launched in the University that was
really done as a memorial to the

University alums who were killed
in World War II,” he said. “The
goal of this research was to pioneer
peaceful uses of atomic energy.”

Munson
said
despite
the

building’s nuclear reactor shutting
down more than a decade ago, it took
many years for federal regulators
to approve new construction and
renovation because of the need to
clean and ensure the safety of the
space. The building is now home to
a variety of features and laboratory
space aimed at advancing nuclear
security,
safety,
energy
and

nonproliferation, the prevention of
the spread nuclear weaponry.

Sara Pozzi, a nuclear engineering

and radiological sciences professor,
is one of the researchers using
the new facilities to detect and
characterize
nuclear
material

in a popular new field in nuclear
engineering. Pozzi mentioned one
of the cornerstones of the nuclear
engineering labs included the
linear accelerator, a medical device

that came from the Department of
Homeland Security.

“We’ll be able to host a linear

accelerator, which is a machine
that accelerates electrons,” she
said. “It’s a medical machine so it’s
actually used for cancer treatment
but it’s being donated to us by the
Department of Homeland Security,
whom we work for.”

Pozzi said the linear accelerator

will be especially helpful in
detecting
nuclear
material
in

containers. She said this is critical
in advancing nuclear security.

“In
these
applications,
we

are
looking
for
Uranium
or

Uranium-235
inside
hidden

containers,” Pozzi said. “So imagine
someone were to try to smuggle in
some Uranium for a weapon and
you want to find it inside a shielded
container. To do that you would
have to interrogate the container
with a beam of particle from a high-
energy X-ray that would come from
the linear accelerator.”

Other
world-class
lab

equipment has been added to
the building, including imaging
tools and gamma ray detectors,
which Pozzi described as critical
to characterizing radiation.

“These can detect not only the

presence of gamma rays but also
tell you where they’re coming
from so they can characterize
a whole field of radiation and
where it comes from,” she said.

For the students who will be

doing research in the nuclear
engineering lab, Pozzi said
collaboration rooms, generous
lab
space
and
advanced

lab
equipment
promise
a

more
intellectual
working

environment. These facilities,
she explained, will positively
affect
students
who
are

investigating topics in nuclear
engineering and writing their
theses.

“A lot of students will be

affected by this lab,” she said.
“Student doing on their thesis
work will be able to do some
great experiments because of
the new space.”
