Gregory Chadwick, DDS, has been named permanent dean of the East Carolina University (ECU) School of Dental Medicine.
Chadwick came to ECU in 2005 to lead the effort to obtain approval from the University of North Carolina system and the state Legislature, as well as funding, to establish the dental school. He served from 2008 to 2011 as the associate dean for planning and extramural affairs as the school began hiring faculty and staff and admitted its first class.
Since August of 2011, Dr. Chadwick has served as interim dean.
ECU enrolled its second class of 52 students in August. The school has a total of 104 students and is moving into its new home, the 188,000-sq-ft Ross Hall, this fall. The North Carolina General Assembly has appropriated approximately $92 million to establish the new dental school.
Chadwick will earn $320,000 annually as dean.
