 ADMINISTRATIVE EXPERIENCE:

2004-2005  Interim Provost and

                            Vice President for Academic Affairs

	Served as Interim Provost from October 2004 to July 2005.

	Served as Interim Provost for six weeks. 

     As the result of restructuring, the University consolidated 

     three academic units (the College of Humanities, the School

     of Business, and the School of Education) into one unit with 

     102 full-time faculty and 25 departments and programs.  

     As Dean, I was the executive officer of the college reporting

     to the Vice President for Academic Affairs.  I was responsible

     for staffing and managing all aspects of the college's 18 

     departments and programs.  The college included 65 full-time 

     faculty. 

     At the direction of the Dean, I developed the Academic Advising

     Center in order to manage a range of academic advising 

     responsibilities as a supplement to the regular departmental 

     advising.    

     The Academic Affairs Division included five colleges (Business,

     Education, Health Sciences, Humanities, and Science and 

     Engineering), each offering both master's and bachelor's 

     degrees.  I was charged with major components of the budget 

     and with coordination throughout the Academic Affairs Division.    

     During my two years as Dean, we successfully completed a Middle

     States Self Study and a Middle States site evaluation.   

     The Open University Program is an off-campus credit program for

     adults. I was charged with shaping the program to insure its 

     academic credibility.  My responsibilities included recruiting 

     the best faculty, designing a format for the curriculum, and 

     administering all aspects of the program from recruitment and 

     registration of students to their certification for graduation.
