ADMINISTRATIVE/LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE (Not Exhaustive List) At the University of Iowa 2012-present Dean, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences CLAS is the most comprehensive college of arts and sciences in the Big Ten. It has 39 units including the School of Music, the School of Social Work, the School of Journalism & Mass Communications, and the School of Art & Art History. With an overall budget of approximately 210 million, CLAS has close to 800 faculty members, 430 staff, 2,400 graduate students (~1,000 TAs), close to 17,500 undergraduate students, and confers almost 70% of all undergraduate degrees. - Planning and implementation of strategic goals: In the course of the last five years, CLAS has successfully implemented its 2011-2016 strategic plan. Regular progress assessment and feedback allowed us to not only achieve but exceed almost all our goals. Reliance on shared governance was vital to ensure that the strategic changes were made with due consultation and input from faculty and staff. To address the need for accurate upto-date institutional data for meaningful decisions and planning, the CLAS IT group developed new tools and dashboards to monitor all aspects of our operations. These tools have proven very helpful and have been adopted by other colleges. The committee established in 2015 to work on the new strategic plan collected feedback and suggestions from all constituencies and made final recommendations in fall 2016. The 2016-2021 CLAS strategic plan is organized under four overarching goals: 1. advance research, scholarship, and creative activities; 2. enrich undergraduate and graduate education; 3. promote outreach and public engagement; 4. create a culturally diverse and globally conscious community. - Research and Scholarship: UI is a top tier public research university and a member of the AAU. Clearly stating and promoting academic excellence at all levels and in all our activities helps faculty, staff and students better understand what the expectations are and how they can contribute to our mission as a top research university. Working closely with the Office of Research, CLAS provides internal grants, grant writing seminars, pre- and postaward support, course release, bridge funding and mentoring by successful PIs. These efforts have resulted in increased scholarly activities as measured by the number of publications, citations, awards, and extra mural funding over the last two years. A more systematic approach to garner national/international prestigious awards for our faculty has been implemented. The importance of scholarly productivity is strongly emphasized in annual evaluations, merit raises and P&T considerations. CLAS has encouraged departmental standards that support excellence in scholarly work. Tenure track faculty lines allocations are mainly linked to scholarly productivity. One of the top priorities has been to increase faculty salaries making them competitive with those of our peer institutions. CLAS has been a key participant in several interdisciplinary initiatives such as Aging Mind and Brain, Genetics, Informatics, Obesity, Public Digital Arts, Public Humanities and Neuroscience. I am currently exploring additional initiatives such as Machine-Human Interface and Social Justice. Close collaboration with all the other colleges has resulted in several joint faculty hires, the development of joint majors and BA/BS/MS tracks, and research initiatives. The recent Neuroscience initiative is one of UI s top priorities and involves the Medical School, CLAS, Engineering and the College of Education. - Curriculum Initiatives: Regular curriculum reviews are carried out in consultation with the departments and with the supervision of the CLAS Undergraduate Educational Policy Committee. Dozens of new majors, minors and certificates (many joint between units and colleges) have been proposed and approved by the Board of Regents. Many interdisciplinary and intercollegiate accelerated bachelors-professional degrees have been implemented. Currently we offer more than 69 departmental and interdisciplinary majors and 26 certificates. We encourage innovations in terms of first year seminars, Big Idea constellation courses, flipped courses, etc. and offer incentives in the form of summer stipends or TA support. The number of undergraduate students involved in research has been steadily increasing. STEAM (STEM + Arts) initiatives have resulted in engineering students enrolling in 6 to 9 credits in Arts and Humanities. 2 of 11

- Undergraduate Education: CLAS is working tirelessly to recruit and retain top students. The College has hired a recruiter to work closely with the departments and the UI office of admissions to increase enrollment of interested students. We funded a student ambassador program consisting of junior and senior students in each department, who meet with potential students and their parents during their campus visits. We have gone from 10 to 22 professional advisers who, in addition to standard advising, are helping with recruitment and placement of students. We are also developing and implementing IT tools to facilitate e-advising. CLAS has now a dozen living and learning communities. Likewise, our international recruiting has been successful. CLAS investment in a writing and speaking center for international students has now expanded to support all students in need of help with communication skills. Our initiatives have paid off: as a result of professional advisement and partnership with the career center, our first-year retention and 4 and 6-year graduation rates are at an all-time high; we have had 12 Fulbright Scholars each year over the last two years; more than 30% of undergrads conducted faculty-mentored research; our graduates have a 95% job or grad school placement rate. - Graduate Education: CLAS confers 50% of PhDs and MA/MS degrees at the University. CLAS is working closely with the Graduate School in assessing the strength of our graduate programs and assists with the implementation of best practices increasing retention and reducing time to completion. Alternative paths in some graduate programs are being explored. CLAS has recently introduced several internally funded fellowships for students who are writing their thesis and implemented a policy to cover maternity leaves for graduate students. A Graduate Educational Policy Committee has been created to oversee curriculum and policy matters related to graduate students. The close collaboration with the Graduate College has resulted in UI graduate students winning more CGS Distinguished Dissertation Awards than any other public university. - Facilities: In the last five years, CLAS has overseen the construction of two major state-of-the-art buildings for the School of Music and the Art Studio. Construction was finished and the buildings occupied on schedule. In addition, approval from the Board of Regents for a new Brain and Psychological Sciences building was obtained. CLAS has aggressively pursued renovation and upgrade of laboratory space for teaching and research. The IT equipment has been upgraded on a regular basis. We have now a five-year master plan for facilities and regularly monitor our building conditions and their usage. - Diversity and inclusion: CLAS has maintained its commitment to recruiting faculty, staff and students reflective of the increasing diversity in society. The lack of diversity should be seen as a serious problem and is detrimental to our academic mission. In 2017, we had the largest and most diverse incoming class, 21% of the College s tenured and tenure-track faculty who specified race were members of minorities, and 42% were women. These percentages reflect the College s success in recruiting for excellence through diversity and in assisting the professional development of all faculty as they advance to tenure and promotion. Annual evaluations of faculty have been systematized and mentoring at all levels has resulted in better retention of faculty specially minorities and women. At assistant and associate levels, close to 50% of all tenure-track and tenured faculty are women. We have encouraged opportunity hires and ensured diversity among pools of applicants. Chairs and members of search committees undergo training conducted by the UI office of diversity and equal opportunity. Recruiting and retaining a diverse student population is a priority for CLAS. The professional advisors are asked to pay close attention to our first generation and minority students. In the spirit of inclusion and integration, CLAS led the efforts at the university to implement the new faculty ranks of professors of practice and professors of instruction with full representation in shared governance, longer contracts affording more job security, clear career and development paths. These new ranks went into effect in fall 2017. - Public Relations and Communication: The CLAS strategic communication initiative has led to a better branding with the upgrade of websites and increased communications with all constituencies. This has allowed CLAS to be a strong advocate of Liberal Arts education working closely with top ranked professional schools. Our active participation in the AAU and the Big Ten Academic Alliance networks has given the leadership team in CLAS a better understanding of current trends and challenges in higher education. - Human resources and management: Data-based decision are critical for an organization as complex as CLAS. An in-depth efficiency review resulted in some administrative and academic reorganizations. On the administrative front, CLAS continued implementing shared services, centralized consolidated IT services and facilities, HR and 3 of 11

budget streamlining. The 2014 Accenture Consulting Group review of CLAS gave the College high marks for what had been implemented. Further streamlining of processes was initiated following the recommendations of an internal committee that I put together in 2015. Staff were represented on key committees so that their input was taken into account before strategic decisions were made. To improve morale, additional resources were allocated for staff development, recognition and awards. On the academic front, CLAS is closely monitoring class offerings, class size, visitor allocations, lecturer versus tenure track hires to make sure that limited resources are efficiently used without compromising academic standards. CLAS is closely working with EAB consulting group in developing tools for measuring instructional efficiency and capacity. These tools will allow departmental chairs to monitor enrollments and student credit hours. - Business and Finance: Total transparency in all budgetary matters has been implemented for the first time in CLAS resulting in a more trustful and collaborative atmosphere in the college. Better Internal communication has helped mitigate the pervasive departmental culture of us versus them that made it hard to develop a strategic vision matching actual resources. Clearly explaining the budget process to units and providing them early in the year with an estimate of next year s projected budget lead to better planning at the unit level. Business analytics tools, developed and deployed by CLAS IT group, have been extremely helpful to departmental chairs and business managers. New sources of revenues such as professional Masters and online education are being actively pursued. On-line courses are becoming important not only because they serve a whole range of geographically bound students but also provide additional sources of revenue. CLAS has created clear policies for developing and delivering on-line courses, several degrees are completely offered on-line, and many more are being developed. For the past few months, all UI deans have been involved with the President s cabinet in an in-depth assessment of our current budgeting model. We have reviewed extensively different budgetary models used by peer institutions, benefitted from their experience and have collectively decided to move from the current legacy model to a new budget model with total transparency and incentives to generate new resources. - Fundraising: The University of Iowa s largest fund-raising campaign ended in December 2016. In 2012, the goal for CLAS was 100 million with 70 million already raised. By 2013 we had already reached the original 100-million goal so the decision was made to raise the goal to 140 million. In January 2016, we reached our new goal, 11 months before the end of the campaign. By the end of 2016, CLAS had reached 150 million! - CLAS outreach and engagement: CLAS outreach activities have continued to increase in all areas: performing arts (music, dance theatre), STEM initiatives in schools and for the general public; reinsertion programs for prisoners, free clinics screening for speech and hearing, creative writing in K-12 schools and for the general population, etc. Two unique MOOCS in creative writing launched two years ago have met quite a success. CLAS is leading an effort to define metrics to evaluate engagements and recognize such endeavors in our T&P criteria. A new associate dean has been appointed to oversee and coordinate all of our engagement and outreach efforts. - Internationalization: CLAS has been working closely with the UI International office to internationalize and diversify CLAS student body through recruitment of students from China, South Korea, Japan, the Middle East and Latin America. Meanwhile, we continue to encourage study abroad activities for domestic students. Our Awardwinning India Winterim program continues to grow and similar programs for other destinations are being considered. Faculty exchanges and global scholarship are facilitated through dozens of MOUs with top ranked overseas universities. CLAS has played a major role in activating several alumni associations in Europe, South East Asia and the Middle East. Our international alumni are acting as ambassador and recruiter for UI and CLAS, as well as mentors for our students studying abroad. At the University of South Carolina. 2004-2012 Chair, Department of Physics and Astronomy - Human resources and departmental growth: In 2004, Physics & Astronomy had 19 faculty members with a yearly operating budget of two million dollars and roughly four million dollars in external grants. By 2012, the Department had 25 faculty members despite large number of 4 of 11

retirements, an operating budget over three million dollars, our external funding more than doubled reaching eight million dollars, our graduate and undergraduate enrollments had substantially increased, and all our tenure and promotion cases were successful. - Financial planning and management: From 2008 until 2012, the departmental budget was effectively managed without deficit. In FY10, reduction by 10% of the departmental operating budget due to state mandated cuts resulted in the loss of two instructor positions and five TA slots. Careful planning with input from faculty, staff and students led to a crisis management plan endorsed unanimously by the department that allowed us to readjust our priorities without affecting our main mission of teaching, research and outreach. - Diversity and Inclusion: the diversity in the department was improved by hiring two female staff and an additional female faculty. Two funded GAANN proposals helped increase diversity among our graduate student population. - Outreach: Our popular outreach programs (public stargazing nights at our local Melton Observatory and our Midway physics day at the Annual State fair) continued to attract thousands of people each year. - Facilities and infrastructure: Successful planning and execution of a major renovation plan required moving the whole department to a temporary location for six months and moving back into the renovated space. - Interdisciplinary initiatives: Several interdisciplinary efforts in Medical Physics, Nuclear Engineering and Nanotechnologies were successfully initiated and resulted in several faculty hires. The new hires have successfully secured extramural funding and two of them were later awarded an Early Career Award and a PECASE. University/College level: 1999-2002 Tenure and Promotion committee (elected chair in 2001-2002) Top committee on campus requiring substantial time commitment. Members were required to be knowledgeable about T&P criteria in all colleges and schools to decide all tenure cases in the university. On average 70 to 80 T&P files from all disciplines were reviewed every year and final recommendations were made to the president. The committee also reviewed units criteria and recommended changes to improve academic excellence and performance standards 1999-2000 Chair of committee reviewing the Dean of the Honors College Organized the review, surveyed all the constituencies interacting with the Honors College, analyzed the state of the College, evaluated the performance of the Dean and his administration. 2001-2004 Russell Research Award for Natural Sciences (chair in 2003-2004) The committee reviewed all the nominations and selected the winners of the university-wide top research awards in the natural sciences. 2001-2002 Faculty Grievance Committee Committee reviewed and handled all grievance cases from faculty related to tenure and promotion, raises, discrimination, etc. 2001-2002 Faculty Senate Steering Committee Monthly meeting of all the chairs of the main faculty committees with the Provost to decide about the agenda of the faculty senate, review the committees annual reports, and solicit nominations for membership on the different university-wide committees. 2003-2012 Religious Affairs and President s Interfaith Committee The committee reviewed the annual reports of the organizations and reviewed the credentials of 5 of 11

religious workers before approving their affiliation with the University and organized interfaith events for students, faculty and staff. 2003 Merging of College of Sciences and Math with College of Humanities In 2003, the USC president set up a committee to look into the merging of the College of Humanities with the College of Sciences and Mathematics creating a single College of Arts & Sciences. The committee was charged with studying the pros and cons of such a merger. The committee recommended the merger and proposed a plan identifying the necessary resources and structure to successfully achieve the merger. The committee s task culminated with the creation of the new College of Arts & Sciences at the end of 2004. 2008-2009 Chaired Provost s Study group evaluating the role of the Graduate School In 2008, the Provost set up a study group to evaluate the role of the Graduate School at USC and to recommend the needed changes for the school to match the university s aspirations as a top doctoral institution. The yearlong extensive study resulted in an official report with extensive recommendations, which were gradually implemented. 2011-2012 Innovista Faculty and Staff Advisory Council Innovista (USC research park) was launched as a strategic economic development effort connecting USC and university-spawned innovations with entrepreneurs, businesses and stakeholders. I was one of the representatives for the sciences. Department level: 1994-2000 Chaired the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee in Physics and Astronomy - Interdisciplinary initiative: Helped create the Engineering Physics track - Technology Assisted Learning: Adopted and implemented the MSU Open-Source Distributed Learning Content Management and Assessment System LONCAPA, encouraged and implemented several flipped classes and increased the use of clickers in large introductory courses. - Undergraduate Student Success Initiatives: Revised the Physics and Astronomy undergraduate curriculum, changed the laboratory format in our large introductory Physics courses, and improved the advisement and mentoring of our undergraduate majors. 2000-2004 Director of Graduate Studies in Physics and Astronomy - Graduate Student Success Initiatives: Revised the graduate curriculum, improved the regular assessment of the program, worked closely with other departmental committees in improving retention and reducing time to completion - Improvement of Diversity of Graduate Student Population in the Department: Successfully applied for two GAANN grants to implement a fellowship program for underrepresented minorities in physics and astronomy, recruited Latin American students and mentored graduate foreign students - New Graduate Program: implemented a professional Master s program for students interested in work in the industry. - International activities: regularly visited several South American Universities to establish exchange programs, gave research and recruiting talks in Spanish. Signed an MOU with the University of Los Andes in Colombia. Several graduate students came to USC from Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and Argentina. 6 of 11
