Who does what around here?

Department Head: Carolyn Mattingly (cjmattin@ncsu.edu)

Carolyn signs the papers that do the things. When she’s not plugging away at department items, overseeing her research lab over in Toxicology, teaching, or mentoring, she’s spending time with her family. Her door is always open, so drop by when you’re in Thomas Hall (3510A)!

Associate Department Head: Jane Lubischer (jllubisc@ncsu.edu)

Jane stays busy. You may see her walking briskly on her way from a meeting to another meeting, for which she cancelled a different meeting in order to attend. When she’s not in meetings, you’ll find her in her office being the Da Vinci of data and spreadsheets, or at home with her wife, pups and chickens.

Executive Assistant: Dana Derosier (dhderosi@ncsu.edu)

Dana is Carolyn’s assistant. She manages her schedule, composes department communications, coordinates department events, and juggles various other items as needed.
