New Hires ON CAMPUS
Leaders Bring Passion to the Pride During the time between semesters, the UAFS filled several deeply important roles with Lions passionate about their work and the university. In July, Dr. Shadow JQ Robinson as Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs. Robinson has experience overseeing academic program development and seeing major campus projects from idea to execution. About his new position, Robinson said, “To me, this partnership between a community and a university represents the best of higher education. It is work I have been
committed to for some time, and I am honored to support UAFS in continuing its success at this work.” A revamping of some student administration areas saw alumna and long-time employee Stephanie London, ’06, promoted to Assistant Dean of Students for Housing and Campus and Community Engagement. “I’ve seen UAFS grow into the university it is today, and I am excited to continue serving the students who choose to become members of our incredible community, she said. In the new administrative
structure, London oversees the Office of Campus and Community Engagement, led by Ashley Goodson, ’09, who has served students and staff for many years. In the office of Campus and Community events. Kara Crowley continues to serve students directly as Student Activities and Civic Engagement Coordinator. Kari Carbajal serves as Coordinator for Registered Student Organizations providing the support needed for the university’s 100+ student-led organizations. In August, UAFS appointed Brett Arrington as the Executive Director of Institutional
SAVE
Research. In this role, Arrington will collect, analyze, and report institutional data such as enrollment, retention, graduation, and performance for university leaders and relevant external agencies. “One of the most impressive parts of Mr. Arrington’s interview was his ability to process and assess institutional data at numerous scales ranging from large-scale data that informs university budgets and state funding to more granular data at the level of the classroom and student retention and progress,” said Provost Dr. Shadow Robinson.
