WINONA, Minn. – After a national search the College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Winona State has a new dean — from the university’s own faculty. Brian Zeller, whose background is athletic training, was appointed to the deanship by Darrell Newton, the university’s vice president for academics. Zeller previously served as chair of the university’s Department of Health, Exercise and Rehabilitative Sciences. His new salary: $170,000. He earned a doctoral degree in exercise science from the University of Kentucky, a master’s degree in physical education from Indiana State, and an undergrad degree in physical education from UW-La Crosse. Zeller has been at Winona State since 2000. He has been director of athletic training. As nursing dean Zeller succeeds Julie Anderson. She had headed the college six years, a tenure interrupted by a medical leave. She returned last year as interim dean.
