Where they are now...

Many familiar faces have relocated to the home of the College of Arts and Sciences on the eighth floor of Clemens Hall as the staffs of the former faculties of Arts and Letters, Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and Social Sciences have been merged into one administrative unit for the new college.

With Kerry S. Grant, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, assuming the helm of the new college, the deans of the two other arts-and-sciences faculties have taken on new posts.

Joseph Tufariello, dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, has been named senior vice provost for educational technology. Martha Barton, former associate dean of natural sciences and mathematics, has joined Tufariello in the provost's office as associate vice provost for educational technology.

Mark Kristal, interim dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, has been appointed senior advisor for planning and operations in the college. In that role, Kristal will provide leadership in planning, assessment, program evaluation and special initiatives.

Grant has named Charles Stinger, former associate dean of social sciences, as senior associate dean for the college. A professor of history, Stinger will have primary responsibility for personnel actions, including promotion and tenure. He will serve as acting dean of the college in Grant's absence.

Several associate deans of the former faculties have assumed similar posts in the College of Arts and Sciences:

- John Ho, associate dean of natural sciences and mathematics, has been named associate dean for sponsored programs, responsible for coordinating all aspects of sponsored-program activities throughout the college.

- Martha Hyde, associate dean of arts and letters, is associate dean for graduate studies and research, responsible for curriculum administrative support and the encouragement of non-funded research, scholarship and creative activity.

- David Willbern, associate dean of arts and letters, has been named associate dean for educational technology, responsible for faculty use of technology and technology planning, including curricula.

- Henry Sussman, associate dean of arts and letters, is serving as associate dean for undergraduate studies for the fall semester. In the spring, Sussman will return to the faculty in the Department of Comparative Literature to continue teaching and to establish the Interdisciplinary Program in Space, a joint project of the college and the School of Architecture and Planning.

Two former associate deans, Munroe Eagles of social sciences and Allan Cadenhead of natural sciences and mathematics, have returned to the faculty to concentrate on teaching and research.

The college's administrative offices will be relocated to the first floor of Park Hall once renovation work is completed to space being vacated by the Department of Communicative Disorders and Sciences, which will move in the spring to the South Campus to bring its clinic and some research functions closer to the research activities in the health sciences.

Grant has made four assignments to the college's new Student Services Center, which is located in the former social sciences dean's office in 275 Park Hall.

Peter Gold, dean of the former Undergraduate College, has been named associate dean for liberal studies and director of enrollment management services. Gold's responsibilities will include direction of the Student Services Center.

Gold noted that all staff from the Undergraduate College has moved to the Student Services Center.

Assuming other supervisory positions within the center are Janet Mather, director of social science services; Don McGuire, director of humanities services, and Kathy Glazer, director of fine arts services.

Gold said that several additional positions will be created within the Student Services Center. Among them are a director of natural sciences services and a recruitment-and-retention specialist.

Advising responsibilities for pre-medical students will remain with central advising services, Gold said.
