After Friday morning's Board of Trustees meeting
Purdue should officially have a provost and a senior vice president
for advancement.
Sally Frost Mason, the dean of the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences at the University of Kansas and a Purdue alumna, was
appointed to the position of provost, and Murray Blackwelder, the vice
president of external affairs at Iowa State University, was named the
senior vice president for advancement. Both of these appointments need
to be ratified at the meeting.
"The Board participated in the searches (for these
candidates)," said President Martin Jischke. "I'm quite confident they
will approve these appointments."
Along with the new vice president for advancement
may come a new University building dedicated to advancement. "It's our
intention to considerably expand our fund-raising activities," said
Jischke.
He said this requires additional people and space
so the University is seeking approval from the board for a resolution
to get funds from the Purdue Research Foundation.
There will also be reports on some of the University's
research projects including faculty presentations by the following:
Gary Isom, the vice president for research and dean of the graduate
school; James Cooper, a professor of electrical and computer engineering;
Janet Smith, a professor of biological sciences; Janet Afary, associate
professor of history and women's studies; and Eugene Spafford, a professor
of computer sciences.
The University mission statement will also be discussed.
Purdue does not have a clear mission statement right now but through
strategic planning efforts one should be in place soon.
