副总裁路易斯·利维宣布退休
VALDOSTA -- Dr. Louis H. Levy, provost and vice president for
学术事务 at 美高梅博彩, has announced plans
to retire effective Jan. 1, 2010. As Valdosta State’s chief
academic officer for the past nine years, Levy has been
instrumental in guiding the university’s academic growth through
enhanced recruitment of students, improved retention efforts and
course and program development.
Levy joined the university in 1989 as professor and department head
for Sociology, Anthropology, and Criminal Justice -- during this
time he was instrumental in the development of the Master of Social
Work program. He also served on the steering committee that created
the Doctorate of Education, submitted the original proposal for the
development of Valdosta State’s Council of Department Heads and
chaired the University System of Georgia’s Academic Advisory
Committee for Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work.
He advanced professionally and was appointed assistant vice
president for 学术事务 in 1995 and named interim vice
president for 学术事务 in 2000. He was officially appointed
to the position of vice president for 学术事务 in 2002, and
in 2008 the title of provost was added to reflect his expanded
responsibilities.
“Because of his commitment to shared governance, collegial outlook,
and focus on the primacy of the academic mission, the position of
vice president was extended to provost,” said President Patrick J.
Schloss. “In this role, he became the institution’s first academic
leader to chair a planning and budget committee -- where he created
funding pools that emphasize the importance of aligning financial
resources with the university’s mission.”
His community service has included serving on the United Way and
Council on Aging boards of directors. Levy directed Valdosta
State’s fund raising efforts for the State Charitable Contributions
Campaign and the Annual Faculty and Staff Campaign. For these
efforts and others, Levy won the Council for Advancement and
Support of Education (CASE) Division III Award of Excellence and
the Public Citizen of the Year Award by the National Association of
Social Workers (South Georgia Chapter).
“It has been an honor to serve 美高梅博彩 as a
faculty member and an administrator over the last 20 years,” Levy
said. “The university has been a guiding force in my career
development, and I am most thankful to my many colleagues on the
faculty and staff. I am also grateful to the presidents, vice
presidents, deans and directors who have given me excellent
guidance and demonstrated strong support for new endeavors. The
students at vs上 have been a constant source of inspiration. I will
most certainly miss the daily interaction with my colleagues in the
Office of 学术事务.”
Levy received a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the
University of Louisiana, master’s degree in sociology from the
University of New Orleans and a Ph.D. in sociology from Virginia
Tech.
Schloss said that he is meeting with campus constituents to develop
a plan to select a successor -- including the appointment of an
interim provost and vice president for 学术事务 and
formation of a search committee. A national search will be
conducted and a replacement is expected to begin by fall
2010.
