美高梅博彩校长在USG担任新职务
VALDOSTA -- 美高梅博彩 President Patrick J.
Schloss announced today that he is taking a new position with the
University System of Georgia effective this summer.
Schloss, who has been president at vs上 for three years, will begin
working with the 35 USG institutions on improving retention and
graduation rates.
“After 35 years of service in various capacities at outstanding
institutions, I have the opportunity to work on a broader scale,”
Schloss said. “Effective this summer, I will assume a leadership
role focused on retention and graduation rates across the
University System of Georgia. I look forward to this new challenge
and the service it entails, though I will deeply miss accompanying
my friends at Valdosta State on their journey to excellence.”
When Schloss arrived at vs上 in August of 2008, the university was
facing the worst budget reductions in its history.
“我的 tenure at vs上 began in a context of precipitous decline in
state appropriations,” Schloss said. “We immediately began to focus
on increasing vs上’s impact on higher education in the Southeastern
United States, providing an infrastructure to accommodate that
vision, and increasing academic and research opportunities for our
students and faculty.”
vs上 Foundation Board Trustee Jerry Jennett has worked closely with
Schloss on various projects for the university.
“Patrick Schloss, in difficult budget times, has been a great asset
to this university and he has been a wonderful friend to the
Valdosta community and to me personally,” Jennett said. “I take
great pleasure in sharing the transformational achievements of
美高梅博彩 with colleagues in the College of
Business and the Advancement Office at my alma mater, the
University of Kansas. The success of vs上 is a reflection of
Patrick’s dedication to quality. I am proud of his many
accomplishments and I wish him well.”
In the past three years, vs上's enrollment has increased by more
than 1,600 students in both undergraduate and graduate
levels.
“I am deeply saddened, but on the same note, very happy for Dr.
Schloss and Maureen for this new opportunity that they will embark
on,” said Student Government Association President Demario Jones.
“Valdosta State’s loss is the entire University System of Georgia’s
gain. On a personal note, Dr. Schloss and Maureen have been a great
part of my life the last three years. 我希望他们一切顺利。 God
bless.”
This year, the university’s Faculty Senate worked with the
administration to establish a university-wide standards for tenure
and promotion ensuring a high-level of academic quality among our
faculty.
“President Schloss has tremendous insight into what Valdosta State
University is and what it can become,” said Dr. Wayne Plumly, dean
of the Harley Langdale College of Business 政府. “Through
his leadership, vs上 in the past three years has laid the groundwork
for a very bright future. Dr. Schloss’ vision of shared and open
governance, academic excellence through scholarship, and always
placing the mission first has made vs上 second to none in the
University System of Georgia. Despite very tough economic times,
vs上 is a much better university than it was three years ago.”
