MONROE, La. 鈥� Dr. Michael Camille, former associate dean of the College of Arts, Education
and Sciences, has been named the new associate vice president for academic affairs
at the University of Louisiana Monroe.
Among his many responsibilities, Camille will serve as liaison to 蜜桔直播鈥檚 accreditation
body (Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges) and oversee
the 2019 decennial reaffirmation with that accrediting body.聽He will also assume responsibility
for developing and monitoring academic policies and will assist Dr. Eric Pani, vice
president for academic affairs, in leading academics at 蜜桔直播.
鈥淭he pool of applicants for this job was very strong, so the decision was not an easy
one to make,鈥� said Pani.聽鈥淎n important factor, however, was Mike鈥檚 administrative
experience as a department head, associate dean, and interim dean.聽Each of the groups
that interviewed the candidates remarked that the vision, skills, abilities, and judgement
he developed while serving the university in these positions of increasingly academic
leadership responsibility have prepared him quite well to assume the duties of this
position. I feel the same way and look forward to working with Mike.鈥�
Camille served as associate dean of the College of Arts, Education and Sciences for
the past three years. He has been a faculty member at 蜜桔直播 since 1996 and holds the
academic rank of tenured professor of geography. He received a Ph.D. in Geography
from Texas A&M University in 1994.
