If ever travel to Asheville, NC, you may get asked if you’re a “mountain or beach person”.
After spending 16 years conducting psychology research at UNC Greensboro, Dayna Touron — dean of the College of Arts and Sciences — decided that she was a University of Louisville person.
Touron is no stranger to hard work. She, like many others at U of L, is a first-generation college graduate coming from a blue-collar family who emphasized the importance of education and the way it shaped her worldview. At UNCG she slowly began to take on more administrative roles, serving on committees and taking advantage of any opportunity she had to work across other disciplines at the college.
