Posted 05/07/01

Julie Dolan, former Director of Operations at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn., will become the new Associate Vice President for Fiscal Affairs at Dartmouth College as of May 7, 2001.

Dolan will oversee the planning, implementing and reporting of the financial affairs of the College. She will assist the Vice President and Treasurer with the development and implementation of a comprehensive set of fiscal plans and programs for the institution. Senior managers reporting to her will be the Controller, the Director of Fiscal Planning and the Director of Procurement.

"The College is fortunate to have attracted someone with Julie's experience and interests at a time when we are being challenged to develop and manage strategies to address a truly comprehensive set of institutional needs," said Win Johnson, Vice President and Treasurer. "Julie's perspectives, gained from working at other institutions facing some of these same challenges, will be a welcome addition in this office."

At Vanderbilt, Dolan was chief financial and administrative officer for the Peabody College of Education and Human Development. In addition to her normal duties, she designed and implemented a new grants management database to monitor $15 million in annual grant activity for more than 150 sponsored projects, among other accomplishments.

Before moving to Vanderbilt University in 1999, Dolan served as Assistant Dean for Finance and Acting Associate Dean for Finance in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. Her other experience in higher education finance includes working as Assistant Director of Financial Planning, Manager of Financial Analysis and Senior Financial Analyst, all at Tufts University, and as a Budget Analyst at the University of Pennsylvania.

From 1985 to 1987, Dolan was an Associate Consultant for public sector and not-for-profit clients at Cresap, McCormick and Paget in Washington, D.C., where she designed a statewide performance evaluation and incentive salary system for 65,000 teachers, principals and school district administrators. A graduate of both Stanford University and the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, she served as an Assistant Director of Council for Basic Education prior to that.
