USU Creates New Vice President of Regional Campuses
Utah State University has appointed the state’s commissioner of technical education to a new position that will help provide oversight to the university’s regional campus system. On Aug. 1, Dave Woolstenhulme will become vice president of regional campuses, focusing on the non-academic aspects of the system, including enrollment, budgeting, buildings, according to a news release put out by the university. ... USU’s regional campus system consists of 33 campuses and centers throughout the state and offer a wide variety of programs as part of the school’s land-grant mission. ... USU did not provide information in its news release about why the vice president of regional campuses position was created. But Woolstenhulme said in an interview it was the result of restructuring by the school. “As many years as I’ve worked at USU, they felt like my skills would be what they were looking for in this position,” he said. ... “Dave’s extensive experience with USU’s regional campuses and state-wide technical education makes him a perfect choice to lead new efforts in regional campus function and growth,” Cockett said. ... Woolstenhulme said USU’s regional campuses are in “great shape,” but there’s always room for improvement.
