• Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Planning- Budget and Enrollment Management

• Worked with the Provost and other deans to eliminate a college. One outcome was to move the Athletic Training program into the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

First Year Experience Program

• Worked with faculty to institute a new first year experience program which included modifying the General Education requirements, developing special courses for first year students, and providing a set of experiences around global issues, diversity issues and opportunities to become active in community service activities.

Strategic University-wide Initiatives

• Worked to establish a set of programs in the college and across the university to enhance the global awareness of students. Within the college we have developed a set of courses that allow students to study countries and conclude the semester study with a trip to the area studied. I have established a Global Studies Roundtable that meets monthly and provides programs on other countries. A residency program for art students wishing to work in Japan has been established.
• Facilitated faculty effort to be awarded a Phi Beta Kappa chapter at Alfred University.
• Worked with the Dean of the School of Art and Design to establish a set of university programs that provide a common experience for students and faculty across the university. After consultation with faculty, the programs have become “hallmarks” and integrated into the University’s Strategic Plan.
• Supported and encouraged an increased university commitment to undergraduate research programs. I facilitated the development of a university-wide undergraduate research forum that started with a limited series of projects in our Environmental Studies program and has grown into a forum that includes research projects from all academic areas in the university that result from an increased commitment to undergraduate research.
• Collaborated with the School Psychology graduate program to write grants and coordinate student and faculty research projects and service activities. This project has produced scholarship, undergraduate research, graduate research and service learning opportunities.

Acting Provost

• Reorganized the academic administrative area by eliminating an associate provost position, and two associate vice president positions to create a more efficient and effective administration
• Lead the university-wide strategic planning initiative. This involved a two year effort to revamp the strategic plan. The new plan is focused on strategic goals and objectives. The plan will create a set of metrics to be used in measuring outcomes.
• Moved the School Counseling program from the Education Division in our College of Liberal Arts and Sciences into our School Psychology graduate division. The moved has created a more vibrant program resulting in increased student satisfaction and enrollment.
• Developed off-site programs. Working with East China Normal University an agreement has been signed that creates student and faculty exchanges and a dual degree program. We have an agreement with the Center for Integrated Teacher Education in New York City to develop a Masters in School Counseling program in the New York City region.
• Worked to restructure our grants accounting procedures. Responded to an audit finding requiring us to redefine our time/effort reporting and develop a standard pay schedule. Worked with faculty and implemented a time/effort reporting procedure in the fall of 2005. Continuing efforts to develop a salary structure to support research activities that occur during the year. Conducted a major revision of our intellectual property policy and the procedures used to respond to research involving intellectual property issues.

Interim Dean College of Business
