Dean Mark Clark assumes graduate studies duties
Mark Clark, dean of the College of Professional Studies at UW-Eau Claire, soon will add graduate studies to his list of responsibilities.

Provost and Vice Chancellor Ronald Satz announced last week that Clark, who came to UW-Eau Claire in 2001, will take over responsibility for administration of graduate studies from Steven Tallant, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs.

Satz said the additional working title of dean of graduate studies is not a permanent addition to the position description and duties of the dean of the College of Professional Studies, but rather it is a specific reassignment of duties to a specific individual.

"Mark Clark has a decade of prior experience in the administration of graduate studies," Satz said. "His qualifications provide UW-Eau Claire with the opportunity to match his unique academic experience with the administration of our graduate studies program." Full story.
