Three candidates for Arts & Science dean scheduled to address campus
Three candidates for Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences will give public campus presentations this month. Each will be followed by a reception, and all members of the campus community are invited to attend.
The candidates and their presentations are:
Armstrong has been dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the State University of New York at Stony Brook since 1996. He is in charge of 30 departments and programs with approximately 450 faculty and an annual operating budget in excess of $40 million. His primary mandate has been to help Stony Brook realize its mission of becoming a first-rate student-centered research university, with undergraduate programs that reflect the world-class research excellence of the faculty. An important challenge of his deanship has been to maintain Stony Brook’s traditional strength in the physical and biological sciences, despite severe budgetary constraints, while solidifying and expanding the humanities and the social sciences. Creating a development office at an institution unaccustomed to fund-raising and improving minority recruitment in a faculty much less diverse than the student body also have been important priorities. Armstrong was previously associate dean for the Humanities at the University of Oregon (1994-96) after serving for five years as head of its English Department (1986-91).
Hodge is currently acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He joined the UW Geography faculty in 1975 as an assistant professor. He has served as Academic Coordinator for the Center for Social Science Computation and Research (1982-91), program officer for Geography and Regional Science at the National Science Foundation (1993-94), and as Editor of The Professional Geographer (1994-97). Hodge was chair of Geography (1995-97) and Divisional Dean for Computing, Facilities and Research (1996-98). He won the UW Distinguished Teaching Award in 1990.
Kuhl holds the William P. and Ruth Gerberding University Professorship and is currently chair of the UW Department of Speech and Hearing Sciences. She is the 1999 recipient of the Faculty Lectureship Award. Kuhl is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, president-elect of the Acoustical Society of America, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Psychological Society, and the Acoustical Society of America. In 1997, she was awarded the Silver Medal of the Acoustical Society of America. She was one of six scientists invited to the White House to make a presentation at President and Mrs. Clinton’s Conference on “Early Learning and the Brain” in April 1997. She joined the UW faculty as an assistant professor in 1977. ¶
