Tradition includes change As the University con- tinued to progress, changes were made with- in the current administra- tive body. On July 1, Dean of Instruction Dar- rell Krueger and Dean of Students Terry Smith gained additional titles and responsibilities, and two new people were named deans within the administration. The changes were suggested and approved by the Board of Governors in May 1988 during a closed session. Krueger s new title be- came Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Instruction. He continued to work close- ly with faculty commit- tees responsible for the academic policies, but his new position focused primarily on the gra- duate programs. Krueger said working with the graduate dean was informal before his title change, and after the change the work was on an even more person- al basis. Krueger did not feel he had any extra re- sponsibilities with his new title and said that the title change was sim- ply a formality. Dean of Students Terry Smith became the Dean of Residential Colleges in addition to his former du- ties as Dean of Students. Smith worked closely with residence life, as well as with the new resi- dential college pro- grams. He also worked with the residential col- lege professors, giving them guidance and sup- port in their first year of working in the residential colleges. Another administrative change was the appoint- ment of Dr. Susan Shoaff as the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies, re- placing Ruth Towne. Shoaff began teaching here in 1980 and became an associate professor of art. Her new duties in- volved coordinating and administering the gra- duate program. Kathy Rieck, the ex- ecutive assistant to the president, became the new Dean of Admissions and Records. Rieck's for- mer duties included overseeing the admis- sions office and printing services. Her responsibilities changed to include work- ing with the Registrar s Office, Financial Aids Of- fice, and the Business Of- fice in addition to her for- mer duties in Admis- sions. An assistant to the president for 14 years, Rieck thought her new ti- tle reflected more re- sponsibilities. “It's a real honor and is spurring me on to try and achieve more, and also be of greater assis- tance to the students of the University, Rieck said, a University President Charles McClain attends a special event for prospective high school students.
