[Coehd] DTC Dean's office

Dear Colleagues, Sara Aghai, our DTC Dean's office admin/post award staff has accepted a position at Southwest Research Institute. We wish her all the best as she transitions to this next professional experience and thank her for her outstanding work, collegiality, and willingness to jump in and work with grants and our fiscal team. Sara will be missed! Currently, we are working with HR on a plan to create a shared business center model at the college level as well as some other adjustments to how we function at that level. Since the DTC office is part of that effort, we will currently look for temporary coverage of the office as we work through the organizational structure at the college level. I will reiterate what I have asked Department Chairs to communicate to their staff: Our current efforts in the development of an efficient and institutionally aligned way of sharing business services at the college level does not affect department staffing. As we make the transition, we expect to see department staff able to take on broader and deeper roles in student and faculty support which will aid in our student and faculty success efforts. Best, Margo Margo DelliCarpini, Ph.D. Vice Provost for Strategic Educational Partnerships and Dean of the College of Education and Human Development President's Distinguished Professor The University of Texas at San Antonio One UTSA Circle San Antonio, TX 78249 T: 210.458.4370 F: 210.458.4487
