As dean of 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Wilkes Honors College, Goldey will work to enhance the College鈥檚 academic reputation, expand the College鈥檚 enrollment, and develop additional external funding sources.

In the coming years, Goldey also will play an influential role in the work that is underway with the University鈥檚 Jupiter Life Sciences Initiative, as 糖心Vlog collaborates with the global research institutes that are co-located on the MacArthur Campus. The Campus is home to the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) 鈥 the first and only one of the Max Planck Society鈥檚 83 scientific institutes located in North America. Additionally, the Campus serves as east coast headquarters for the Scripps Research Institute.

A nationally recognized expert in undergraduate research programs in the area of life sciences, Goldey has served as the primary investigator for several grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and private foundations.
