Effective June 25, 2012, Mr. Derek Hoar began his appointment as UNC School of Dentistry assistant dean for human resources.
“It is my pleasure to announce that Derek Hoar has joined our school as assistant dean for human resources,” said UNC School of Dentistry Dean Jane Weintraub. “The expertise seen in his past employment speaks for itself and illustrates what a qualified candidate he was for the position. He already has great familiarity with our school and campus, so he will be on board quickly. We’re so glad that he’s chosen to join our school in this capacity.”

Employed with the UNC-CH Office of Human Resources since 2006, Hoar most recently served as the University’s employee and management relations consultant. During that appointment, he oversaw the UNC School of Dentistry, School of Medicine, Department of Environmental Health and Safety, among other campus service departments. Hoar’s responsibilities included advising management and employees on employment relation matters, counseling management on implementation of SPA and non-EPA performance management systems, and advising management how employee relations practices can be used to achieve organizational objectives. Before joining UNC, Hoar held human resources employments at SAS Institute (1995 – 2006) and Wake Medical Center (1992 – 1995). He was also employed by General Motors (1988 – 1991).
