Ann Schmiesing, who currently serves as vice provost and dean of the Graduate School, will take on a part-time, interim role as senior vice provost for academic resource management, while Katherine Eggert, currently serving as quality initiative leader in the Office of the Provost, will assume the role of vice provost for academic planning and assessment.
Interim Senior Vice Provost for Academic Resource Management and Dean of the Graduate School Ann听Schmiesing
Vice Provost for Academic Planning and Assessment Katherine Eggert
Eggert鈥檚 new role is effective June 1, and Schmiesing鈥檚 is July 1. The new roles engage responsibilities previously carried out by Senior Vice Provost William Kaempfer, who is retiring.
Additionally, there are new responsibilities that address important gaps in the Office of the Provost, such as a creating, strengthening and supporting baby直播app committees on campus academic, space听and budget policies; developing closer partnerships with the CU system and other institutions on academic matters; and ensuring strategic partnerships are maintained with various administrative units on campus such as 听Enrollment Management, the Office of Data Analytics听and the Office of Budget and Finance.
Moore noted, 鈥淎s we have asked campus to reconsider its structures and processes via Academic Futures and the Academic Reorganization Committee, we, in the provost's office must also reconsider the way we operate so we can provide better service to our baby直播app, students听and staff. I believe these positions are the beginning of that effort.鈥�
As interim senior vice provost for academic resource management, Schmiesing will develop strategic academic resource recommendations to the provost in support of the academic mission. She will serve half-time in each role with additional support and resources forthcoming in the fall to ensure graduate students and baby直播app do not lose any service or engagement they currently receive. At the end of the fall, once additional conversations have occurred with baby直播app, staff, students听and administration, Moore said his office will conduct a search for the senior vice provost for academic resource management position.
鈥淚 am committed to ensuring this move has no negative consequences for our graduate students, baby直播app听or staff, and want to ensure the momentum created by Dean Schmiesing continues through the summer and fall,鈥� said Moore.
As vice provost for academic planning and assessment, Eggert will focus on strategic academic planning, student academic success and institutional accreditation. She will interact with the CU system and appropriate state agencies on issues of program creation, review and certification, while serving as a liaison to the Boulder Faculty Assembly.
Schmiesing said she is 鈥渉onored to be able to serve in a new capacity to support the work of our students, baby直播app and staff, while continuing to lead efforts to improve graduate education and the experience of our graduate students.鈥�
Eggert said she 鈥渓ooks forward to stepping up the work to tie together the shared governance of our academic mission at all its critical levels: among baby直播app, with the Board of Regents听and with the state of baby直播app.鈥�
Moore cited the talents and abilities of both as key assets to the university.
鈥淎nn and Katherine bring experience as baby直播app members, mentors and administrators who balance talents with people along with great skills in logistics, organization and management,鈥� said Moore. 鈥淭hey will bring a dedication to students and baby直播app and a strong orientation toward partnering with staff to improve the experience for both groups.鈥�
