Amy Conrad Warner has been appointed vice chancellor for external affairs. Warner returns to the post she filled on an interim basis in 2004 when Cheryl Sullivan was away from campus on a leave of absence. Sullivan returned to IUPUI in December 2004, but left the university earlier this month to become policy director for U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh. Warner has been executive director of the Community Learning Network since 1996 and has carried the additional title of associate vice chancellor for lifelong learning since August 2003.
A $100,000 award from a private trust will allow the IU National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health to expand its health outreach to local Hispanic women and families. The Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust recently made the award to the center, which will enable it to hire a full-time bilingual outreach coordinator and to boost the growing program. The funding also will be used to develop publications, printing and educational outreach sessions for health education and social services to Hispanic women and their families. It was the second consecutive year the women’s health center received a $100,000 grant from the trust. Dr. Rose Fife is center director and associate dean for research at the School of Medicine.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, three IUPUI women were honored at the annual Women’s Leadership reception on March 30. Missy Kubitschek, Department of English, was the recipient of the Outstanding Woman Faculty Award. Julia Lash, associate director of Counseling and Psychological Services, was honored with the Outstanding Woman Staff Award. In a new category for part-time faculty or staff, the award went to Julie Hatcher, associate director of the Center for Service and Learning. The women were selected from nominations and testimonials made by colleagues and students across campus.
Simon Rhodes has been named associate dean for graduate studies at the School of Medicine, pending administrative approval. He also has been appointed professor of cellular and integrative physiology and is expected to assume his new post June 1. He joined the faculty in 1995 in the Department of Biology and his ties to the medical school include research collaborations and involvement on several search and screen committees. He has been an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology since 1996, a member of the Paul and Carole Stark Neurosciences Research Institute since 2003, the IU Cancer Center since 1995 and the IU Center for Regenerative Biology and Medicine since 2000.
