The programs were blended format “2 2” BS degreesoffered in conjunction with community colleges.Co-developed a “2 2” undergraduate microbiology program with Miami-DadeCollege in CALS; now enrolls 75 students, largely underrepresented minorities.Led the development of the agricultural and environmental sciences disciplineboard for MERLOT – the Multimedia Educational Resources for Learning andOnline Teaching; see www.merlot.org.Led the development and implementation of the CANR strategic plan in 2013;Assessed implementation in 2015 and 2017. Documents available here.Turned the CANR structural budget deficit of 1 million into a 4.3 million
surplus in four budget years. Grew base budget revenue to the college by 3million while holding total expenses to 1.7% growth since FY13. Introducedtransparency to college business operations.Grew the CANR teaching enterprise; since FY13 data show a 36% increase inincoming class size, 28% increase in student credit hours delivered, 23%increase in undergraduate headcount, and 18% increase in graduate headcount.Overall enrollment reached an all-time high in Fall ’18, surpassing the record setin 1975.Created the CANR Diversity Initiative, led by faculty and funded in base budget.Since FY13, %URM of undergraduates has increased from 10 to 18%, andfemale faculty have grown from 26 to 37%. Increased diversity of dean’s officestaff by hiring five minority staff members.Spearheaded a multi-university initiative for collaborative research – theDelmarva Land Grant Seed Funding Program. This brought together faculty andadministrators from the 1862 and 1890 land grant colleges of agriculture inDelaware, Maryland and Virginia to build inter-institutional collaboration on issuesrelevant to the Delmarva region. Five cycles of funding have been completed todate, awarding 600,000 to multistate research teams.Led strategy and gained presidential and Board of Trustees approval for a 38million renovation/upgrade of Worrilow Hall, the CANR main research lab facility.Doubled fundraising for CANR; now averages over 5 million per year despiteonly 8,000 living alumni. Raised 10 million for CANR’s #1 philanthropic priority,Worrilow Hall, the largest percentage of capital cost raised by any college at UD.Co-wrote competitive foundation grants totaling 2.2 million for capitalimprovements of classrooms, common spaces, and UDairy Creamery productionto enhance student success.Initiated and/or revitalized international relationships with Universidade Federalde Lavras in Brazil, The Catholic University of Cordoba, Argentina, Universidadde O’Higgins in Chile, and La Molina University in Peru. Obtained two gifts @ 650,000 to support the Borel Global Fellows Program, providing mobilitystipends to African students to obtain MS degrees.Oversaw the hiring of five department chairs and one associate dean in CANR,along with several key staff: college Business Officer, Grants and ContractsManager, Communications Director, IT Director. Worked collaboratively withchairs and unit leaders to develop multi-year strategic hiring plans for faculty andstaff.Developed and lead the CANR new faculty mentoring series, and hired anExecutive in Residence to provide enrichment activities for new faculty and staff.Grew entrepreneurial, student-run businesses (UDairy Creamery, Fresh to Youorganic vegetables, Dare to Bee Honey) to over 1.5 million in sales andoutreach to the Helen Graham Cancer Center at Christiana Hospital.Enhanced shared governance and transparency of CANR by revising outdatedBylaws, creating Cost Recovery and Space Utilization committees, publishing aPolicies and Procedures guide, and renewing the membership and function ofthe College Advisory Board.Reinstituted college staff and faculty awards to reward and recognize excellence.
