Jepson School announces two appointmentsOne Jepson School faculty member will assume part-time administrative duties, and a former administrator has returned to the school, announced Dr. Kenneth Ruscio, Jepson School dean. Dr. Tom Wren, associate professor of leadership studies and a longtime member of the Jepson School faculty, will assume the new position of associate dean for academic affairs on July 1. His responsibilities will include general oversight of the curriculum, course scheduling, and interpretation of academic policy for students. He also will have responsibility for several newly developed academic programs, such as the Jepson Annual Review and the Burns Lectureship. Wren’s administrative duties are half-time, and he will continue to teach. Ruscio said Dr. Teresa Williams, former associate dean, has returned to the school as special assistant to the dean. She will assume the title associate dean for student and community affairs on July 1. In her new role, Williams will advise student government and co-curricular programs, work on assessment and administer experiential education programs, including the internship program. For the next six months she will work on a variety of assignments, including the development of an assessment plan and a study of experiential education programs. “The appointments of these two talented and experienced individuals will enable Jepson to continue to serve its constituencies and develop new programs and initiatives,” said Ruscio. For the remainder of the academic year, Dr. Terry Price will continue to serve as acting associate dean and Colette Conner will continue as director of student services. |
