some new responsibilities as Assistant to the Provost for Graduate Studies; I will continue to serve as Dean of the Graduate School, and will stay connected to this group as well. She will assist me with some of the day to day logistics and operations of the
Graduate School, as well as advise on policy, etc. </span></p>

served as Interim Director of the School of Allied Health a few years ago as we made a few administrative transitions. She is an excellent professor, leader, scholar, and contributor, and I know we will enjoy having her as part of our council.
