Biographical Note
John C. Howell (born 1928) received his B.A. in 1951 and M.A. in 1952 from Texas Christian University and his Ph.D. from Duke in 1958. Howell joined the faculty as an assistant professor in the department of sociology at Michigan State University. His primary fields of interest were social organization and administration.
In 1964, Howell was appointed assistant dean in the College of Social Science. In this position he was responsible for reorganizing the curriculum.
In 1965, Howell was also appointed associate dean in the College of Human Medicine. Here, too, he was largely responsible for curriculum development.
Howell moved to the Office of the Provost as assistant provost for health programs in 1973 from which he took a year leave in 1981, and then retired.
