Director and Faculty Chair,

Campus DNA Sequencing and


Gene Expression Analysis Lab

Significant Administrative Accomplishments:

(as Interim Associate Dean and Associate Director 99-00) - Developed funding model from institutional and USDA/ARS sources, then worked with a faculty

committee to identify specific instrumentation needs, a business plan and operational guidelines for the


Campus DNA Sequencing and Gene Expression Analysis Lab. I then carried plans forward to college and

campus administration to develop long term funding stream as a service center with faculty governance and

to provide space renovation. Hired staff and then supervised the lab, developed federal and state grants, as

well as local, funding for additional instrumentation and procedures for next 6 years. - Worked with faculty and Department Heads representing three departments within the college, with

interests in plant biology, to review and then implement a previously developed white paper on plant

functional genomics. The subsequent process resulted in the hiring of three tenure track faculty members.

- Worked with the Graduate School, Campus Administration and the nascent faculty of Cell and Molecular

Biology to complete a proposal for Ph.D. and M.S. program development. We moved the proposal through

the approval process with the Arkansas Department of Higher Education and the Board of Trustees. We

developed the plan for an external review of the program and then responded to, and implemented as

appropriate, recommendations from the external review. Upon approval of the new programs, worked with

administration to develop baseline funding for graduate student stipends. I was then selected to be the first

program director.

(as Director of the Campus Program in Cell and Molecular Biology (CEMB))

- Developed a graduate student recruitment plan that allowed us to grow from no students in 2000, to 57 students in 2006, including 3 Ph.D. students with prestigious Walton Fellowships. These additional

graduate students were new to the institution, as graduate programs for the Departments of participating

faculty grew over the same period. Additionally, worked with the Dean of the Graduate School and the

Provost to ensure that the Departments housing CEMB students and their advisors received productivity

credit for this activity.

- Recruited over 50 faculty members, representing 14 Departments in four colleges, to participate as

graduate faculty in the program. Graduate assistantships were administered through the program office

and were generally used as leverage funds to match host department teaching or faculty grant funds to

attract top quality students.

- We worked with the Office of Graduate Student Recruitment to recruit graduate students from the

Historical Black Colleges and Universities across the southern U.S., with special emphasis on Arkansas,

Mississippi, Louisiana and Missouri. The CEMB program in conjunction with the IGERT program in

Microelectronics and Photonics and the Graduate School actively participated in regional HBCU research

symposia and brought top quality students to campus for recruitment. By 2005 CEMB had the highest

percentage of US born minority students in any graduate program in the sciences.

- Wrote and coordinated grant funded projects to purchase over $1 million in additional genomics and

imaging instruments following the initial lab startup activities, for Campus Core Facility, as CEMB

coordinated projects.

- Developed and taught a CEMB Seminar class that was centered around federal grant proposal

preparation as a component of the MS research project proposal and the Ph.D. written qualifying exam.

Ph.D. students, after advancing to candidacy, established proposal review panels and assisted in project

development. Students also coordinated a daylong mini-symposium involving student presentations and an


invited speaker.

(as Associate Dean for Research and Director of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station)

- Developed budget realignment plan to increase infrastructure support and faculty competitiveness. In FY 06 the Experiment Station budget was 93% committed to salary support, with only 7% available for

operational expenses. Working with Department Heads, we developed a plan to decrease State and Federal

funding for personnel services from 93% to 70% over a three-year period. At the same time, Department

Heads were given the flexibility to manage their budgets to best meet the needs of their

Departments. Salary savings were reassigned to Departments as operating dollars and used to revitalize

research facilities and infrastructure.

- Using increased appropriations and budget flexibility gained by realignments, increased research faculty

FTEs from 61 to 84 over three budget cycles. New faculty positions were assigned based on strategic goals

of the College, Station and Departments.

- Developed seed grant program to assist faculty in the acquisition of data to increase their

competitiveness for extramural funding. This program was developed to enhance independent investigator projects as well as to increase integrated research, teaching and extension team activities. We were able to

provide from $250k to $300k per year for this program over three years. While administered by my office,

grant reviews and funding decisions were made by an expert faculty panel. This program was key to almost

a 100% increase in extramural funding for the college.

- Working with Faculty and external stakeholder groups we identified five major thrust areas for the

station’s research portfolio. The five major research thrusts involved faculty from multiple departments

working as interdisciplinary teams. The themes were identified as Ruminant Nutrition and Management,

Viral and Bacterial Diseases of the Gut, Bioproducts Engineering, Crop Breeding and Applied Genomics,

and finally Prairie Ecosystem Sustainability. Additionally, with the addition of four faculty positions in

Human Nutrition in the College of Family and Consumer Science, the Experiment Station was a key

participant in this focus area of our sister college.

- Wrote (as PI) and received $3 million 2010 Center Grant to establish a “Center of Excellence for

Drought Tolerance Biotechnology” a component of the program thrust in Plant Breeding and Applied

Genomics. These funds were used to update the core genomics and mass spectrometry facilities on

campus. To provide the expertise required, three faculty members in bioinformatics and statistics were

hired in the College of Engineering with AES appointments, and we hired 10 new faculty members in

Plant Genomics and related fields.

- Developed a program to update all major farm equipment on the experiment stations, when I arrived most

major farm equipment was obsolete. For agronomic research stations, we established lease arrangements to

ensure new tractors each year at a significant savings to the units. Additionally, we initiated major

construction projects, including barns, storage facilities, feed-lot renovation, fencing and water projects.

- Worked with donor family, SDSU Foundation and Animal and Range Sciences Department Head to

develop the SDSU Gerdes Cow Camp Research Station in Miller, South Dakota. This AES Station was

gifted to the Foundation and provides a 960 acre cow-calf and native range research station in a key cattle


producing region of the state. A key to the project was the involvement of undergraduate students in all

aspects of station management. Along with campus administration and faculty, developed a plan to

purchase 633 acres of suitable pastureland within 10 miles of campus and to sell a 233 acre parcel that has

been used for pasture but had significant development potential and pressure to fund the project. This project

was approved by the Legislature, signed into law and moved towards construction planning and

development.

- Though state and federal base funding was decreasing, faculty grant production increased from ~$14

million to almost $24 million over the four years I was in SD. A key component to this success was the

ability to provide funds for faculty release time for research and by working with CES to jointly fund key

project areas. O ne faculty member’s success as a key collaborator on a $117 million DOE project to

construct a cellulosic ethanol pilot facility and conduct research and a NSF Bioenergy IUCRC project

involving six universities and approximately 30 companies were due to moving the PI from a 90%

Teaching appointment to an 88% research appointment and hiring an additional new tenure track faculty

member to teach the courses needed by the department, and to bring in new microbiology research

expertise.

- Worked with plant commodity groups and industry partners to fund a $6.5 million Seed Technology Laboratory to house research and seed quality labs, a key component being a BSL3 lab and Greenhouse facility. This facility is being built with only $500k in state funds, which we obtained via a grant, to

provide match for the BSL3 lab. Groundbreaking occurred on April 16th

, 2009. Building opened for occupancy in the fall of 2010. - Sponsored US component of bi-national (US and Canada) consortium to study the impact of increased climate variability on agricultural production systems in the Midwest and Plains region. We hosted a regional meeting with over 110 scientists, producers, government and NGO members in participation. The resulting, joint US and Canadian, summaries have been used to focus regional research and outreach activities by the states and as stakeholder input for an AFRI CAP proposal.

(as Dean, College of the Environment and Life Sciences, Director RIAES and RICES)

- I have provided leadership and administrative oversight to a college consisting of 9 Departments, with

initially 17 undergraduate majors and 10 graduate programs. We have reduced the number of graduate

programs to 5 with the development of an umbrella graduate program in the Biological and Environmental

Sciences. We currently have over 2,200 undergraduates, 300+ Graduate Students and approximately 100

full time tenured/tenure track faculty, with 8-10 lecturers, a number of Clinical and Research faculty and

our research and teaching support staff. Our undergraduate student to faculty ration is 18.5:1. In addition to

the academic teaching and research missions, we have over 40 Cooperative Extension employees.

- Completed final construction phase and occupancy of the 140,000+sq ft Center for Biotechnology and

Life Sciences. The flagship building of the college anchors the North Campus Life Sciences group, along

with the recently completed Pharmacy Building and the Chemistry and Forensic Sciences Building. The

building is occupied by a mix of faculty from 5 departments in the college.

- Provided support and leadership to assist faculty in the enhancement of extramural funding from $16.3

million in 2010 to $26.1 million in 2015. The increased funding was developed by increasing the number of

faculty receiving grants, the agencies supporting research and the size of individual awards. Predominantly,


funding in the college comes from NSF, NIH, NOAA and USDA. Tools to increase funding included

working with grant consultants, restructuring workload and providing funding when needed to move

projects forward.

- Since 2010 we have hired 24 new tenure track faculty through the Provost’s Strategic Reallocation process.

Currently we have 6 additional searches for Assistant Professors underway or getting ready to start, including

3 awarded through a competitive cluster hire proposal process and through Strategic Reallocation. We have

also developed and co-funded joint positions with other colleges to cover key research needs and coursework

in anatomy, statistics (2), informatics, history, coastal anthropology and writing in the sciences. We share

those positions 50:50 and both Colleges participate in the annual review and tenure reviews. We implemented

a new process for position description development as a College. We put out a call for position descriptions

to the faculty, who can work together across Departments and Colleges to bring together position descriptions

that fill both the disciplinary as well as multidisciplinary needs of the programs. The proposals are evaluated

and ranked, then presented during our budget request process with the provost.

-We have managed the promotion and tenure process and the faculty performance review process in an

AAUP Collective Bargaining Agreement environment. We have utilized this process to develop a clear and

open process for workload planning and implementation, which includes the development of an annual

workload agreement between the faculty member, their Chair and the Dean’s office. This process assures that

the expectations for performance are understood by all and that faculty members have a clear understanding

of their performance expectations. I have found this tool to be particularly important for those faculty hired in

to nontraditional positions, high teaching load positions for example, when they are evaluated for promotion

and/or tenure. This allows us to ensure that faculty are evaluated based on agreed upon expectations and not

on arbitrary or unstated expectations. As an example, I meet annually with each non-tenured faculty member

after they have received their review and work though any questions or concerns they may have, as well as to

gain a better understanding myself of factors that may be helping or possibly hindering them, we then work

to resolve issues and to acknowledge the help they receive.

- We have lead the college through an extensive evaluation of learning outcomes and expectations, program

assessment and improvement and most recently are finishing up a comprehensive review of the curriculum.

With accreditation bodies placing a greater and greater emphasis on stated goals and expectations, these

reviews were critical. The curriculum review has a goal to reduce redundancy and ensure that our curriculum

meets the need of students today and in the future. Stakeholder groups have been included in the process as

appropriate. Three new undergraduate degree programs have emerged through this process and are

proceeding through the curricular development and approval process, these include a BA in Environmental

Studies, a BS/BA in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems and a Master’s in Environmental

Communications. All three of these programs include faculty from multiple departments and colleges,

representing contemporary interdisciplinary efforts.

- Working with faculty members from various departments we have developed and finalized with three

international partners, the Ocean Alliance at the University of Tokyo, Japan; Ocean University, China and the

University of Aalborg, Denmark. The agreement with Japan includes travel to Tohoku Japan to study the

social and commercial impacts of the 2011 Tsunami, reciprocal trips to RI to study the coast and it’s

development, infrastructure and vulnerabilities. The agreements with China and Denmark are collaborative

study agreements. We have also developed an agreement for land improvement and sustainable agriculture

production work with the City of Nanjing, China.


- We have developed a series of comprehensive agreements over the past 3 years with 11 Universities and the

Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in Indonesia. Our relationship with the Ministry has resulted in an

agreement for 25 Master’s and Ph.D. students, staff members in the Ministry, to attend the University of

Rhode Island with funding provided by the government of Indonesia through the World Bank’s CORE MAP

project. We currently have 14 of these students on campus pursuing their degrees. Further, our institutional

agreements have facilitated in country January Term classes on Water Quality and Delivery, Health Care

Delivery and Field Biology to occur on the Island of Java, with courses this year going to Sumatera, Lombok

and Komodo. Funded research activities have centered on freshwater and marine aquaculture, community

engagement and economic development, development of fisheries regulations and enforcement. We have had

a significant USAID funded portfolio in Indonesia. We are currently are doing a research project funded by

and in partnership with Mars Symbioscience for economic development and community involvement work in

small-island fishing communities near Sulaweisi.

- Over a period of years I led discussions with faculty and staff on the development of a new college

structure. With many small departments and 10% of our faculty serving as Chairs, the model was not

sustainable. We looked at models to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness, while not impacting our

undergraduate or graduate programs. To build a platform for implementation, we worked with an ad hoc

faculty committee to develop a rational set of by-laws that ensure (require) faculty input and participation in

the operations of the college. The conversation ensued over the course of this process was refreshing and has

led to a new way of doing business in the college. Previously, prior to my arrival, all experiment station

activities (supervision) had been centralized under the Associate Director. The structure of the 10 individual

academic units was changed to 3 administrative units each composed of 2-4 departments. In these

administrative units many of the day to day administrative responsibilities of the Chairs was centralized to

administrative staff within the Unit. Chairs then were freed up to deal with faculty, staff, student and

academic issues.

- We have worked to increase access and input to the college and the decision making process at all levels.

Since I arrived in 2010, we have initiated an alumni, business and friends of the college advisory board.

This board provides input and advice on all aspects of the college from programs to development activities

and fund raising. I have also established an informal industry advisory committee that meets when key

questions or concerns of RI agriculture or Green Industries need to be addressed. We have also developed a

Faculty Advisory Council, made up of faculty selected by their peers to discuss and carry back to their

departments key questions on how we govern and what issues need to be resolved. This group has spun off

the College By-Laws Committee and managed the conversation on the formation of the College Space

Committee, which advises me on the best uses for assigned space. We also appointed a mixed industry,

faculty, staff, and student committee to master plan our Field Research, Education and Outreach Labs (aka

farms) for future utilization.

- We have worked on enhancing the diversity of the college, faculty, staff and students a key issue. We

hired a college Assistant Director for Diversity, Recruiting and Retention. We have also implemented a

faculty and staff diversity committee, and have used resources to strategically hire faculty and appoint

graduate assistants to enhance the diversity of the college. While we have made progress, our Fall 14 and 15

Freshman classes are ~25-26% diverse this is a continuing and critical area for improvement. We initiated

the Science and Engineering Fellows program, an experiential learning program designed to link students

and faculty in the two colleges (CELS and Engineering) to enhance interdisciplinary research activities. The

students are from the NSF identified underrepresented populations in the Sciences and Engineering. We


fund 20 scholars through a 12 week research experience with additional skills building and then work on

their data organization and presentation skills during a one hour fall semester course for fellows.

-Initiated the development of an Agricultural Innovation District utilizing land that had formerly leased for

turf grass production. We have worked with the appropriate state agencies, our legislature and the Board of

Education to establish this enterprise. We are currently reviewing development proposals and hope to have

the initial development plan funded by industry partners and a state Innovation Center Grant (up to $20

million) to develop the utilities and infrastructure to break ground in 2018.
