ADMINISTRATIVE POSITIONS:

Vice Provost of Undergraduate Education and Faculty Governance, University of Texas at Austin, 2009 - present.

The portfolio for this position includes: undergraduate curriculum review and program approval, review of all faculty legislation, oversight for academic advising, liaison to the School of Undergraduate Studies, liaison to the Senate of College Councils, administration and selection of campus wide teaching awards, and oversight for university standing committees.

In this position, Ritter convenes the Provost’s Council on Academic Advising, chairs the Committee on Undergraduate Program Review (which is responsible for undergraduate curriculum changes), and serves on the expanded Faculty Council Executive Committee

1

(FCEC+). In 2009-10, she oversaw the reorganization of the Center for Teaching and Learning. After undertaking a review of our campus side academic support programs, in 2010 Ritter created the Council of Academic Support Programs to increase coordination and share best practices for programs that seek to improve retention and support academic success, particularly for students from under represented populations. Ritter’s largest new initiative in the provost’s office has been the creation of the Course Transformation Program (CTP), founded in 2011. The CTP is an effort to redesign the large lower division gateway courses – using insights from cognitive psychology and opportunities created by educational technologies to strengthen pathways to success and promote deeper learning in these key foundational classes.

Director, Center for Women’s and Gender Studies, University of Texas at Austin, 2004-2009.

The Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (CWGS) is both a research and teaching program that offers degrees, promotes interdisciplinary research, hosts public lectures and conferences, and engages in outreach work in support of organizations that help women and girls in the community. Under Ritter, CWGS was the largest interdisciplinary program at UT Austin with over 250 faculty affiliates. During her tenure as director, Ritter created the CWGS Faculty Development Program, to provide mentoring and professional development to new faculty affiliates; oversaw the creation of an undergraduate major in women’s and gender studies; and established a Community Advisory Board for fundraising and community outreach purposes.
