After a highly favorable review of her second three-year term as dean of the Graduate School, Jacqueline Huntoon has been reappointed to another three-year term, Provost Max Seel announced. She will have a new title: associate provost for graduate education and dean of the Graduate School. The new title highlights the role of the graduate dean as advocate for quality graduate education across campus and brings the title in line with other graduate deans at peer institutions, Seel explained.
At the same time, Christa Walck’s title has been changed from assistant provost to associate provost. Her new title reflects expanded responsibilities. In addition to leading the on-going accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission, Walck will be chairing the Assessment Council and directing outcome assessment, as well as chairing the Advising Council, working with academic advisors, COMPASS and ExSEL to coordinate and assess academic advising. She also will have responsibility for coordinating and assessing faculty mentoring and serve as liaison to IPS.
