  • 2002-2003 Annual Report
    Click on the cover to view the report. This past year was one of change and growth for the Woodruff School, with changes in our administrative personnel and growth in terms of the faculty. In addition, there were many activities and successes for our School. The biggest change, from my vantage point, was that over the past 18 months all three of the associate chairs of the School stepped down from their positions. Alan Larson retired. Bill Wepfer accepted new responsibilities as Interim Vice Provost for Distance Learning and Professional Education. Ray Vito initially decided to return to full-time teaching and research, but later accepted a position as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. All three of these associate chairs had been with us for a number of years, and each had done an excellent job. It was a major undertaking to replace them with equally competent and enthusiastic counterparts. Chris Lynch accepted the role of Associate Chair for Administration. David Sanborn is the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies, and Yogendra Joshi is the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies. They are each doing a fine job, and I am pleased that the transition has been smooth. In addition, we hired Wayne Whiteman as a Senior Academic Professional and Director of the Office of Student Services to manage the academic office and student advising. Also during the past year, we added five tenure-track faculty (William King, Jens Karlsson, Robert Mahan, Christiaan Paredis, and Zhuomin Zhang) and one academic professional, Wayne Whiteman, while only losing four faculty (two to retirement and two to resignations).
