From: Dan Nelson, Acting Dean of the College

To: President's Administrative Forum

I am writing to let you know about plans for coverage of a variety of responsibilities in the Dean of the College Office during the time I'll be serving as Acting Dean, following Jim Larimore's move to Swarthmore on July 1.

I have asked Mary Liscinsky to take over many of my current duties in the coming months. As most of you know, Mary has done an outstanding job this past year as Acting Dean for Upperclass Students while a search has been in progress to fill that position, and she will be responsible for chairing that search when it reopens. Mary's past experience at Dartmouth includes serving as Assistant Dean of the College, Acting Associate Dean and Acting Dean of Residential Life, and Residential Life Area Director. She also served as Coordinator for Residence Life at Indiana University. Mary received her bachelor's degree from St. Lawrence University and her master's degree in Higher Education and Student Affairs from the University of Vermont.

In addition to her development, communications, and other administrative duties for the division, Marcia Kelly has agreed to work with the directors of Career Services and Undergraduate Judicial Affairs during the interim period. Marcia is very familiar with judicial affairs, having previously served as director for a number of years, and she is looking forward to the new connection with Career Services.

I have also asked Kate Burke to serve as Acting Dean for Upperclass Students for the coming academic year. Kate has many years of experience in the Dean of the College Office and Upperclass Dean's Office, where her assignments included working with the undergraduate disciplinary system, serving as a class dean, and serving as Acting Senior Associate Dean/Dean for Upperclass Students during the 1998-99 academic year. Since then, Kate has served as Director of Hopkins Center Student Programs, Director of Community Relations and most recently as Deputy Director for EOAA Programs in the Office of Institutional Diversity & Equity. An adopted member of the Dartmouth Class of 1999, Kate received her bachelor's degree from the University of New Hampshire and her JD degree from the University of Maine.

Thanks very much to Mary, Marcia and Kate for taking on these interim responsibilities, which will allow us to continue our services to students and others without interruption and to advance the mission and goals of these offices. Would you please share this information with others in your area?
