Introduction

I oversee undergraduate curricular processes and coordinate all major strategic academic initiatives including Boldly Creative, Academic Program Evaluation, Improvement and Prioritization, Miami Academic Incubator Program, and MiamiRISE. I also serve as Miami’s representative with the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s academic initiatives (e.g., Ohio Transfer 36, Transfer Assurance Guides, Guaranteed Pathways, and Affordability and Efficiency Reporting). I am the Accreditation Liaison Officer with the Higher Learning Commission and oversee Miami’s accreditation processes. Additionally, I coordinate undergraduate academic program and course approval, assessment of student learning outcomes processes, the Department Planning & Improvement (DPI) process (formerly known as academic program review), undergraduate academic policy, review of departmental and divisional governance documents, and development of postsecondary academic partnerships (articulation and transfer agreements). I also chair the Academic Space Utilization Subcommittee, serve on the Space Utilization Group, and serve on the Athletic Appeals Committee. Reporting lines include Office of Liberal Education,and Howe Center for Writing Excellence.
