• Director, Division of Graduate Education (DGE), National Science Foundation, July 2003 TO October 2005

  Responsibilities

  The NSF Division of Graduate Education (DGE) is housed in the Directorate of Educational and Human Resources (EHR) within the National Science Foundation. DGE administers the three hallmark programs of NSF that support the integration of education and research for graduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). All three programs are foundation-wide, provide approximately 4600 fellowships or traineeships annually, and support students and faculty associated with the disciplinary directorates of the agency. The Division Director provides leadership for graduate education matters at the NSF and is the administrator of the Division, responsible for programs, policy, evaluation and monitoring, responses to Congressional requests, as well as for personnel, budget, and operations. The Division Director has the final authority for all awards and declines prior to approval and notification by the NSF Grants and Awards office.

  DGE administers the prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program that provides three-year fellowships of $30,000 annually, plus cost-of-education, to the 1000 most promising STEM graduate students in the country. As well, DGE administers the innovative Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program that “is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education, for students, faculty, and institutions, by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.” DGE also administers another crosscutting program, the Graduate Teaching Fellows program (GK12) that provides support for graduate students in STEM to serve as resources to teachers in K-12 settings. The program promotes collaborations between universities and K – 12 schools that benefit K – 12 students and teachers and strengthens communication and teaching skills and outreach experience among science and engineering graduate students. A fourth program, the NATO Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program, was administered by DGE on behalf of the U.S. State Department, until the NATO Science Committee discontinued science fellowships in 2005.

• Dean of the Graduate College and University Accreditation and Program Review Officer, Arizona State University, March 1995 to June 2003

  Responsibilities

  The mission of the Graduate College at ASU has been to promote and support the integrity, quality, and vitality of graduate programs and to ensure their currency. During my tenure, the Graduate College coordinated and supported 150 graduate and post-baccalaureate certificate programs offered by all the disciplinary and professional colleges and schools at the ASU Main campus and ASU East. Twelve interdisciplinary graduate degree and certificate programs were administered directly by the Graduate College.

  During my years of tenure as graduate dean, the Graduate College provided services to and advocated for the 12,000 enrolled graduate students. The Graduate College handled all admissions and post-admissions services for students, fostered diversity and inclusiveness, awarded all tuition waivers and many other forms of financial support, administered a range of merit award programs, encouraged effective mentoring for all students, organized training for teaching and research assistants, and provided specialized programs of professional development and support.

  Additionally, the Dean of the Graduate College served as the University Program Review and Accreditation Officer. All accreditation reviews, both academic and administrative, were coordinated by the Graduate College, as were all academic program reviews on a seven-year cycle mandated by the Arizona Board of Regents.

• Built the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program, 1995 - present. PFF is an interdisciplinary program that prepares doctoral students for careers in the professorate. The program included annually 100 students in 30 doctoral programs. From its inception with the 1994 award as one of five major U.S. sites, the ASU program grew to be widely recognized as the model program for universities nationwide and internationally.

• Developed Preparing Future Professionals (PFP) program, 1999 - present. PFP is a collaboration with ASU departments and the business community to prepare graduate students for a wide range of career opportunities in the private, corporate and public sectors. During the 1999-2000 academic year, career panels addressed such topics as Careers Paths for Ph.D.s in Corporate Businesses and Industries; non-academic Career Paths for PhDs interested in Small Businesses, Entrepreneurial Endeavors, and Consultant Activities.

• In 1995, established the University Graduate Scholars (UGS) Program to provide ASU’s only multi-year, competitive package for recruiting top doctoral and MFA students.

• Developed the Millenium Interdisciplinary Dissertation Fellowships. Initiated in 2000, these dissertation fellowships include a $15,000 stipend to support groundbreaking interdisciplinary research by doctoral students. The initial round awarded four fellowships.

• In 2001, created a new program of McNair Fellowships to recruit first-generation and underrepresented students to ASU graduate programs.
