Brangwyn Foote, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Colorado at Boulder, is moving on.
Foote has been appointed interim provost/vice president for academic affairs at the University of Maine, Farmington, beginning July 1.
There she will be the second ranking university administrator and chief academic officer for the campus, responsible for academic leadership and with 10 academic departments reporting to her.
Foote聮s appointment marks the end of a long association with 抖阴短视频-Boulder dating back to 1978 when she first joined the office of academic affairs.
"It certainly has been my privilege to work in this institution in so many varied ways and help it develop over the past 20 years," she said.
In 1980 she earned her doctorate in education from the university and from 1983 to 1986 served as assistant vice chancellor for faculty affairs.
Her primary responsibilities included coordinating faculty recruitment, reappointment, tenure and promotion activities and reviews, plus directing and supervising faculty performance reviews and development programs.
More recently she had been director of the summer session between 1986 and 1994, director of undergraduate academic affairs from 1993 to 1997, and supervisor of the faculty teaching excellence program from 1986 to 1991.
Foote is currently chair of the campus-wide 10-year quality assurance review and is responsible for a number of other programs designed to improve the overall quality of undergraduate education.
A consistent thread throughout her career at 抖阴短视频-Boulder has been her efforts on behalf of fellow female academics. From 1986 to 1993 she was campus administrator for programs to ensure salary equity and to provide support services for women faculty.
Foote has been a member of the National Association for Women in Education since 1968, was regional director in 1972-73 and national program chair in 1995.
She was president of the Colorado-Wyoming Association for Women in Education in 1975-76 and served 11 years on the executive committee of Colorado Women in Higher Education Administration.
In 1989 Foote became the first person to receive the annual Margaret C. Tobin Award for Educational Leadership presented by the Colorado-Wyoming Association of Women Administrators and Counselors.
Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Phil DiStefano praised Foote聮s long-term commitment to the university.
"She聮s been a member of the university community for the last 20 years with a variety of roles and responsibilities," he said.
"One of the things about Brang is that she has been given so many different jobs and in every one of them she has performed extremely well."
Though she is leaving 抖阴短视频-Boulder, Foote is maintaining many ties with the area and says she plans on returning to Boulder "eventually."
