After 27 years at WKU, Dr. Charles S. “Sam” Evans, the dean of the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences is retiring or, as he likes to put it ‘transitioning to a new career’. “Anytime you make a change, you’re going to miss the work you do,” Evans said. Throughout his career, Evans has received many honors but he doesn’t let anyone give him all the credit. “My role is helping to ensure success of the students,” he said. “It’s not about me.” Evans points to his parents and mentors for helping achieve many of his accomplishments and to WKU for many of the opportunities that he has been afforded. “It’s been an extremely rewarding career for me,” he said. “I plan to stay connected. I enjoy what I do and the people I work with, primarily the students.”
