Show MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 2008 • THE COLLEGE TIMES News New leadership announced for tech and humanities Ro pet SClSSOrS A3 forMoRocca Appointments create positive change for students College Marketing UVSC recently announced three new appointments within its academic leadership. Ernest Carey, who has been serving as interim dean for the School of Computing & Technology has been named as dean. Carey served as associate dean for two years, and one year as interim dean. "I have the best job on campus," he said. "This is a great school and has a lot of interesting programs. As dean, I hope to maintain the currency of our technology, and add. more breadth and depth to all our programs." "Ernie Carey has proven his leadership capabilities during his service as interim dean," said Elizabeth Hitch, vice president for academic affairs at UVSC. "After consultation with the chairs and others in the school, it was clear that he should be appointed as dean. I am very pleased he is willing to accept this appointment and continue working with the progressive faculty and programs in the school to best serve students." Kathie Debenham, associate dean for the School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences (HASS), has been appointed as interim dean for the school after William Cobb announced he would be stepping down as dean and returning as faculty in the history department. A tenured professor of dance, Debenham has served as a department chair and associate dean in the school and has held university-wide positions of leadership. David Yells, department chair and associate professor in the behavioral science department has been asked to serve as interim associate dean within the School of HASS. William Cobb served as dean of the School of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences for approximately six years, preparing the school to make the transition to university status. Under his direction, new degrees and programs were added to the school's offerings, significant donations have been made to endow scholarships and efforts have increased to fund a new performing arts building. "We thank Bill Cobb for his leadership as dean of HASS," Hitch said. "With his request to return to the history classroom and the students, we are fortunate to have his experienced associate dean, Kathie Debenham, step in as interim dean until a search for a permanent dean can be conducted. Her understanding of current issues in the dean's office, the school and the college will provide the basis needed for a smooth interim term."
