Meet Interim Dean Bill Hendricks
Interim Dean Bill Hendricks joined the college in January. He most recently served as an associate dean for the college, overseeing college operations and enrollment management. Since joining Cal Poly in 1994, he served as professor and first department head for the Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration Department. In 2016, he oversaw the transition of the Recreation, Parks and Tourism Administration to the Experience Industry Management Department — making it one of the first of its kind in the country. Hendricks will continue in this role through Aug. 31, 2024, or until the permanent dean appointment is made, whichever is sooner.
