Personnel changes in the department With the conclusion of the 2008-09 academic year, there are many changes in a number of positions throughout the department. First, after 11 years of service in the role, Dr. Len Mark is stepping down as the Director of Graduate Studies. Len will enjoy a well-earned academic leave in the fall semester, and Dr. Kurt Hugenberg will be assuming the role of Director of Graduate Studies. Also, after exceptional service as the chair of the Department Review Board, Dr. Heather Claypool will be passing the DRB torch to Dr. Jay Smart. Heather has set a new standard for IRB processing efficiency, and we appreciate her tireless contributions to facilitating research in the department. In addition, Dr. Patricia Kerig will be leaving Miami University to join the faculty at the University of Utah beginning Fall 2009. With Patricia's departure, Dr. Margaret Wright will assume the duties of Director of Clinical Training. We wish Patricia the best of luck in her new position. Faculty Receive Promotions
