Please join us in welcoming two new team members to the Geisel School of Medicine Dean’s Office staff. Todd Morrell, MD, is in the new role of Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs, and Margaret Hunton, MBA is Geisel’s new Associate Director of Human Resources.
In his new role, Morrell will work with Dean of Faculty Affairs Erika Brown, PhD, as the liaison to the clinical faculty throughout Dartmouth Health. Morrell will assist the office in aspects of promotion, faculty development, and recruitment.
A clinician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Morrell also works as a clinical informatician for the Dartmouth Health system primarily in areas related to research, data governance, and advocacy.
Morrell received his undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado and his MD from Wake Forest University. He completed his internship in Internal Medicine at Yale-New Haven Hospital, his residency in Emergency Medicine at Denver Health Medical Center, and research fellowship at the University of Colorado.
Margaret Hunton holds an MBA with an emphasis in Human Resources from Drake University. She has worked in various industries including banking, solar, and most recently health care. She comes to Geisel from her role as Senior Employee Relations advisor at Dartmouth Health, where she provided counsel to leaders at all levels.
In her role at Geisel, Hunton is responsible for oversight and direct support for all aspects of Geisel’s human resources efforts for staff employees of the medical school.
A “theater kid” at heart, Hunton spends much of her time outside of work either on stage performing or in the audience. She has worked to build community and connection through the arts and has served on the board of various performing arts organizations in the Upper Valley. She was on the board of North Country Community Theatre for eight years, serving as President for three, and is currently on the Development Committee of JAG Productions. She also enjoys exploring the many hiking trails in the area and searching for the next new indulgent meal with her partner, Aaron.
