    Michael A. Bernstein, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

    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.

    New York Sea Grant Board of Governors Meeting 30 April 2013 April 22, 2013 To the New York Sea Grant Board of Governors: Enclosed is the Board Briefing Book for 2013, which reports on the activities of New York Sea Grant (NYSG) for the period February 1, 2012 through January 31, 2013. This period coincides with the same period that we use for reporting to the National Sea Grant Office at NOAA. This report summarizes the many activities in research, extension, and communications that the staff of NYSG is involved in, as well as the fiscal details of our operations. The past year has been busier than ever, especially in the wake of Hurricane Sandy as well as the multiple RFPs currently underway. I request that you carefully review the major sections of this document, particularly the Action/Discussion Items, and then refer to the appendices as needed. I refer you specifically to Action/Discussion Item 1, the NYSG Budget Report; Action/Discussion Item 2, Other Funding Sources; and Action/Discussion Item 3, PRP Report and other reporting issues; all of which we will discuss at the meeting. If you have questions or concerns please contact me. I look forward to meeting with you in Buffalo next week and thanks for your support. Sincerely, James W.

Approval of tentative agenda: approved II. Approval of minutes from September 11, 2006. Approved with minor spelling corrections. III. Provost’s Report (R. McGrath): The Provost announced a new initiative in Computational Sciences. The initiative will strengthen computation science at Stony Brook and will also enhance ties with BNL. BNL Director Sam Aronson and Provost McGrath will serve as interim co-directors of what they call the New York Center for Computation Science. They have devised a draft plan for building up the Center. The Empire Innovation Program, supported by new funds from New York State, will recruit outstanding new tenure track faculty to SUNY in disciplines with potential to attract federal research funding. Stony Brook University’s new College of Journalism has been granted $1.7 million from the Knight Foundation to begin a freshman program in News Literacy. The Official announcement of the award and program will be announced later this fall. The Provost introduced Graham Glynn, Executive Director of Teaching, Learning and Technology: Dr. Glynn started out as a faculty member in pharmacy and got interested in teaching and how technology can help improve the communication between students and faculty. He had the task of being the first person to put the School of Pharmacy at the University of Nebraska in Omaha on-line. He has a lot of experience with business education as well as technology and in hiring instructional designers to support general pedagogy not just technology.
