    REPORT TO THE UNIVERSITY SENATE TO: University Senate FROM: Michael A. Bernstein, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs DATE: February 6, 2017 Appointment of the Senior Assistant Provost for Finance, Budget, and Operations Ms. Heather A. Montague, currently the Associate Dean for Finance and Administration in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University at Buffalo-The State University of New York (UB), has accepted appointment as the Senior Assistant Provost for Finance, Budget, and Operations in the Office of the Provost at Stony Brook University. Heather will formally start in her new position on February 27, 2017, but she has already begun a series of visits to the campus to facilitate the assumption of her new duties and responsibilities. Heather will be working closely with the Associate Vice President for Budget, Mark Maciulaitis, and members of the Office of the Provost in that transition process. Heather began her tenure at UB in 2005, assisting faculty in the Departments of Geology and Physics with pre- and post-award support, and budget development. During this time, she also managed departmental alumni relations, served as editor of the Department of Geology’s alumni magazine, and coordinated the College of Arts and Sciences Professional Science Management Program. In 2010, Heather moved into a newly-created Grants Coordinator position within UB’s Office of Sponsored Projects to provide both pre- and post-award support for many departments across major academic units, including the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. A year later, Heather joined the College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office -- where she also ultimately assumed duties as the Chief of the Dean's Staff.

  • NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No
    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 2, Feb. 27, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Jeff Hurd Before basketball’s March Madness descends upon us, it is a little amazing that some Division I baseball teams are approaching the 20-game mark (notably Kansas at 9-7-1 through Feb. 23 and Cal Poly at 12- 4 prior to its Feb. 25-29 games). Before you know it, the NCAA Regionals will be upon us. This absolutely is one of the busiest but most intriguing times of the college sports year with as many as 10-12 sports occurring simultaneously from baseball to men’s volleyball to golf to indoor track to gosh- knows-what. It’s also refreshing to welcome the initial 2004 NCAA Division II NCBWA poll to this month’s newsletter and to see some of the baseball teams from cooler weather regions migrating south for the annual ritual of spring break baseball. The incessant pings of the aluminum bats remind us that the sights and smells of springtime and conference baseball cannot be far off; enjoy and sneak out of the arenas when time permits for some great diamond activity. Sincerely, Jeff Hurd - NCBWA President - Western Athletic Conference NCBWA Division I Players of Week The NCBWA Division I National Players of the Week are into their third week of the 2004 season. Nominees for the aw2ard are taken from Conference players of the week and announced on Tuesday. NCBWA Vice-President Mike Montoro of Southern Miss ([email protected]) coordinates the weekly awards.
