ADMINISTRATIVE RESEARCH:
Relative to issues concerning Academic Affairs and Student Services,
particularly development education, much study has been devoted to the trends
impacting students’ performances on the TASP test mandated by the State.
Continuous collection and review of the data have disclosed several factors
influencing students’ levels of performance on the different sections of the
test. A review of the data has produced several research studies.
Additionally, data collected from various units on specified areas of
student services, ranging from teaching to administrative advising, have
served as the foundation for research projects and as the springboard for
developing methods to improve curriculum reform, to refine the strategic
planning process, and to systematize the assessment of programs, faculty and
instruction.
GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE:
Experience includes former Program Director for the National Science
Foundation’s Institutional Support Programs. The Institutional Support
Programs are designed to strengthen research capabilities of institutions with
significant minority enrollments, including predominantly minority
institutions, and to increase the minority presence in science and engineering
by making substantial resources available to upgrade the research capabilities
of the most productive minority institutions.
