Dr. Robin Dorff, an internationally recognized expert in strategy and planning, will join Plymouth State in June as provost and vice president of academic affairs. Dr. Dorff previously served as dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, where he supervised college operations for over 6,600 students.
“This represents an important next step in our reimagining of Plymouth State University,” says President Donald Birx. “As we move fully into our Integrated Clusters model, Dr. Dorff’s expertise, combined with his success in reorganizing a traditional college structure at Kennesaw State to a collaborative learning environment, will serve us well.”
After completing his MA and PhD at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Dr. Dorff held faculty positions at Michigan State University and North Carolina State University. Prior to Kennesaw State, Dr. Dorff served as research professor of national security affairs at the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College, where he was the General Douglas MacArthur Chair of Research.
He has served on the War College faculty as a visiting professor and as professor of national security policy and strategy in the Department of National Security and Strategy, where he also held the General Maxwell D. Taylor Chair and served as department chair.
