January - July 2017 Interim Dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (CSTEM)

As Interim Dean I was responsible for fulfilling the normal duties of the Dean including supervising faculty and staff, making sure that class offerings and schedules met the needs of students, faculty, and the college, and facilitating articulation agreements with several junior colleges. During the semester, I worked with other college Deans and the Provost to evaluate the viability and need for the CSTEM college. After determining that the college would be discontinued and the programs would be shifted to the two remaining colleges, I assisted in the process of closing the college before returning to my role of Professor in the newly created College of Business, Engineering, and Technology.

 

August - December 2016 Interim Dean of the College of Business

As Interim Dean I was responsible for continuing efforts to prepare for the initial AACSB accreditation visit and fulfill the normal duties of the Dean including supervising faculty and staff, making sure that class offerings and schedules met the needs of students, faculty, and the college, and facilitating articulation agreements with several junior colleges.

 

January - July 2014 Interim Dean of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (CSTEM)

As Interim Dean I was responsible for developing the 2014-5 budget for the College, conducting faculty and staff performance evaluations, developing the fall teaching schedule, and attending to the regular administrative tasks of the College. I was successful in beginning searches for and filling 3 faculty and 2 staff positions. In preparation for the incoming Dean, I identified 15 external partnerships and designated a contact person and contact schedule for each partner.

 

2008 – 2012 Director of the Texarkana Market Analysis Project (TMAP)

TMAP was formed to facilitate interaction between the College of Business and community partners. As Director my duties included developing budgets, economic analysis of the Texarkana area, real estate analysis, economic impact analysis, fundraising, and event planning for the annual economic forecast conference. I regularly interfaced with our community partners to establish budget priorities, collect data, solicit funding, and inform our partners of the activities in the College of Business.

 

January – May 2012 Interim Assistant Vice-President of Institutional Effectiveness

During the spring 2012 semester I was responsible for coordinating the Southern Association of Coleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS) 5^th Year Compliance Certification Report. The report consisted of 23 sections, including the status of the QEP initiative. I was responsible for authoring 5 of the sections, editing all of the sections, coordinating with an external consultant, and compiling the report for submission. The process was completed on a compressed timeline, and resulted in a positive response from SACS with only a few minor requests for additional information.

I was responsible for coordinating Certificate Programs at Red River Army Depot (RRAD) in Leadership and in Logistics from September 2011 to December 2017.
