</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt; color:black">Senior Associate Vice-President and Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the University of South Florida. He will finish the semester and will be departing KU in mid-January. I am very happy for Paul and believe
this role is a natural progression from the outstanding work he has done in the College as the Associate Dean for Academic Innovation and Student Success. Most impressive is how he has built up this role with a wide range of accomplishments in collaboration
with Kristine Latta, Karen Ledom, and Sam Montague as the College student success team. In his time serving the College in the Dean’s Office, Paul has managed to embody the ideal combination of leader and team player. He has truly made the College a better
place for students, faculty, and staff with his vision and tireless work ethic. I have tremendous respect for Paul and I will miss him tremendously.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">It is with some excitement and some sadness that I would like to announce I will<span style="color:black"> be named
</span>tomorrow as the new Senior Associate Vice-President and Dean of Undergraduate Studies at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I will start January 15th, so my last day as Associate Dean for Academic Innovation & Student Success will be January
14th. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">This announcement comes with some sadness not just because I have been at KU for a considerable period of time, with all of the good that has brought to my life, but because it means I will no longer be working
directly with the wonderful staff and faculty here. I have changed enormously, I hope for the better, through my experiences at KU. My work family here will always have my gratitude for the relationships I have developed and the opportunities I have been
offered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">In the coming months, I plan to help the College execute a smooth transition with new leadership who will continue upon the successes we have been able to secure in the Student Success Team. I hope this is
not good-bye, but merely a pause before we are able to work together again the future.</span></p>
