LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE

ACE Fellow, the Ohio State University, 2008-2009

I spent one year at The Ohio State University as an ACE Fellow. Under the mentorship

of President E. Gordon Gee of the Ohio State University, I have not only learned a great

deal about American higher education and higher education administration, but also

about the art of leadership, about the need for and the mechanics of initiating cultural

and structural changes, and about the philosophy of being a leader.

In addition to being one of the most experienced university presidents in the country,

Dr.

Gee is also one of the most experienced mentors for ACE Fellows: President Gee

mentored many ACE Fellows over his 29 years as a university president (at West

Virginia, Colorado, the Ohio State, Brown, and Vanderbilt), and several of them have

gone on to become presidents and provosts themselves. President Gee helped me

design the one-year fellowship experience so that I not only had the opportunity to spend

time with the president himself but also the opportunity to work with most of the

important senior vice presidents through a comprehensive rotation schedule. The

rotation took me through the president s office, provost s office, the office of bu

siness

and finance (including facilities and public safety, etc.), and the offices of student

life,

university communications, human resources, the board of trustees, and some colleges.

I participated in two important projects at The Ohio State University: (1) the

reorganization of the College of Arts and Sciences, which involves the enormously

complex task of combining five existing colleges to create one of the country s largest

colleges of arts and sciences, and (2) the organization of a President s Cou ncil on

Sustainability on the OSU campus, which includes coordination of campus sustainability

activities.

The rotation and special projects not only gave me an overall understanding of the

important operational areas of a large university but provided me with a deep

understanding of the complexity of a large campus and the skills needed to manage

scale and complexity.

The three week-long ACE Seminars for the Fellows helped to tie the experience I gained

at The Ohio State University to theory. The topics covered in the seminars include:

? Strategic Planning

? Financial Management

? Fundraising

? Higher Education Marketing

13

? Enrollment management and recruitment

? Governing Board

? Team Building

? History of Higher Education

? Higher Education Trends

? Leadership

? Diversity

Graduate Education:

1. Since taking over the administration of the graduate programs at the School of

Engineering, I raised several policy-related issues at the School, campus, and

university levels. These issues include tuition waiver for graduate research and

teaching assistants in the IU system, new course request approval procedures

and roles of stewardship in the Purdue University system, etc. A number of these

issues were successfully resolved.

2. As a member of the Purdue University Intercampus Graduate Education

Administration Committee, I helped develop a new system-wide policy that

eliminated the stewardship concept and established a peer relationship among

all campuses with an emphasis on the one Graduate School concept.

3. As a member of the ad hoc Graduate Faculty Certification Committee of the

Purdue University, I participated in the development of a new Graduate Faculty

Appointment Policy that eliminated the seven levels of graduate faculty

certification and established a single level of graduate faculty certification for the

entire Purdue system.

4.

As an action item of the strategic plan, several new graduate degrees were

developed. I oversaw the development of a new M.S. in Technology program

from the proposal preparation stage to its implementation stage. As a result of

this effort a new M.S. in Technology program was approved in fall 2005, and was

successfully implemented in 2006. Student enrollment increased from 0 to 40 in

two years. I also took the initiative to lead the discussion on an agreement for two

new Ph.D. programs in Engineering to be offered on the IUPUI campus.

5. To facilitate the development of new graduate programs, I proposed and

implemented an incentive mechanism within the School for technology

departments and faculty to develop and teach graduate level courses.

6. Proposed and helped to establish a new policy at the School level to provide

tuition waiver for all Ph.D. candidates, as well as to all research assistants at the

MS level.

programs - one in systems engineering, the other in facility management and

logistics.

8. As the Chair of the Purdue Area C Curriculum Committee, I provided leadership

for curriculum development for all Purdue University campuses.

9. As a member of the Purdue Graduate Council, I exerted influence in working with

Purdue Graduate School and Purdue Graduate Council in shaping Purdue

Graduate School Policies: Recommended the establishment of policies and

procedures for the application and approval of dual-degree programs that

resulted in a new policy being passed by graduate council in February 2006.

10. I am currently working with the IUPUI campus to develop a proposal for an
