The mission of the Department of Academic Affairs is to provide coordination and academic
support for the colleges and schools at The University of Memphis. We also provide
support to the provost in the administration of the University's academic programs,
administer the broad academic services and programs, and serve as the coordinating
arm for instructional units. The department develops and maintains information for
decision making, conducts evaluations and assessments, and provides resources for
academic improvement. The Department of Academic Affairs also provides efficient and
courteous service to prospective and current students in support of their educational
goals. We are dedicated to providing the support needed to navigate the day to day
operations. Student success is our business, and we are committed to offering services
that enhance opportunities for our student body. The success of Academic Affairs can
directly be attributed to the commitment and dedication of its employees. In an effort
to recognize this, Mr. William Akey, Assistant Vice Provost for Enrollment Services
and Dr. Ralph Faudree, Provost suggested the formation of an awards program that recognizes
the hard work and dedication of our employees and, also encourages them to participate
in the process. An Awards Committee has been established to create specific awards,
develop guidelines, and make recommendations for why, how, and when the awards will
be presented. The Awards Committee is comprised of 11 members representing several
areas of Academic Affairs. Six of the original committee members will serve for a
one-year period and the remaining five members will serve for a two-year period. Six
new members, who will commit to two years on the committee, will replace the departing
members. All members from this point on will participate on a two-year rotation, which
will begin June 1 each year. Committee members for the 2011-2012 academic year are
as follows:
| Venitra Hollingsworth, Advanced Learning Center |
| Angela Robinson, Admissions |
| Rachael Cottam, Academic Affairs Technology |
| Lofton Wilborn Chair, Recruitment |
| Mary Kyle, STAR Recipient |
| DebraAnn Brown - Financial Aid |
| Stine Moss-Cooperwood, Keep TN Beautiful |
| Sheila Mathis, Faculty Administrative Services |
| Lori Hutson, Undergraduate Programs |
The Academic Affairs Awards Program has been designed to recognize those individuals
who have made significant contributions to the success of the division and to convey
our appreciation for their loyalty, commitment, and contributions to the University.
The awards will be presented yearly at a Divisional Awards Ceremony in November. This site serves as the official source for the awards program criteria.
Changes to this website, recommended by the AA Awards committee, should be forwarded
to Webmaster.
