UW Bothell: Stanley Slater named acting dean

Stanley Slater, professor and director of the UW, Bothell’s Business Administration Program, has been appointed acting dean and vice provost of the UW, Bothell, effective Sept. 1. Slater’s appointment is subject to approval by the Board of Regents at its September meeting.

“Our first attempt to find a replacement for Norm Rose, who is stepping down in September, has proved unsuccessful,” said UW President Richard L. McCormick. “I am pleased that Professor Slater is willing to take on this assignment and provide leadership for the campus until we are able to find a permanent dean. Stan will do an outstanding job in this role.”

Rose had announced earlier that he would step down as dean at the end of this academic year. He has served as dean at UW Bothell for more than four years.

Slater has been at the UW, Bothell since 1996. He received his Ph.D. in business administration from the UW in 1988. He was at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, from 1987 to 1996—as professor strategic management and marketing, and as Marketing, Strategy, and International Business Area Coordinator from 1992 to 1994.

Slater’s research is in the areas of marketing and strategic management. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Marketing, the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Industrial Marketing Management and the Journal of Market-Focused Management. He is also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Greater Washington Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

UW Bothell, which opened in 1990, currently serves a population of about 800 full-time equivalent students. The campus offers both upper division and graduate courses in programs with both full and part-time study options with day, late afternoon and evening classes. In late May, ground was broken for UW Bothell’s permanent location at the 127-acre Truly Farm site near the junction of state Route 522 and Interstate 405. The first phase of construction at the site, which will include facilities for Cascadia Community College as well as UWB, will be completed in time to accommodate students, faculty and staff in the fall of 2000.” ¶
