Re: Interim Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education named
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to announce that Professor William Ladusaw has accepted my invitation to serve as Interim Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education. His appointment will fill the position vacated by Dr. Lynda Goff, who has served as VPDUE with distinction since 1998. Dr. Ladusaw will assume his new post effective July 1.
A distinguished Professor of Linguistics and faculty fellow of Cowell College, Dr. Ladusaw brings to the office of Campus Provost and EVC an exceptional scholarly record and extensive administrative experience. He is widely recognized as an outstanding campus citizen with an extensive record of service contributions at all levels of the University. Dr. Ladusaw previously served as Chair of the Linguistics Department and Provost of Cowell College, as well as serving on various administrative and Academic Senate committees. He recently served as a member of the Steering Committee for the new Academic Information Systems (AIS). In 2002 he assumed the role of AIS Steward, Advising and Degree Audit, helping to guide the implementation of this critical new campus system.
Dr. Ladusaw's research concerns linguistic semantics and pragmatics -- the description of meaning in language, how it is related to grammatical structure, and how we understand what is said in context. He recently coauthored a book entitled "Restriction and Saturation," a work that is described as a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the formal semantic analysis of non-Indo-European languages.
Please join me in welcoming Dr. Ladusaw to his new assignment.
