Dear Mr. Romero,

I am honored to submit my application for the position of President of The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM). My curriculum vita and references are included for review. With many years of administrative and academic experience, I understand the multifaceted challenges required for this unique leadership position and have extensive experience from progressively more complex leadership and management positions. My experience and abilities make me well qualified to serve in this distinguished role and it would be an honor and my deep desire to lead a university in a region that is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of many Louisianan first generation students and their families. I have been an educator my entire professional career and it would be a privilege to serve with the utmost pride, the faculty, staff, students and university community that has enormous potential and I am ready for this opportunity.

Before I review my accomplishments and leadership capabilities, I must address the singular most important question: Why the University of Louisiana at Monroe, and why now? From my perspective, the University of Louisiana System and ULM are uniquely poised to take advantage of its size and location opportunities to become a model teaching and research university dedicated to student success, much like the Georgia State model. ULM is a comprehensive regional university that serves not only the entire State of Louisiana but the nation as well, and it is a destination point for innovative faculty and energetic first-generation students who want a make a difference in our society.

Monroe is in the “central” northeast part of Louisiana. This excellent location on the I-20 corridor will assist the next president in securing close relationships with school districts, community colleges, government agencies, and industry partners to ULM’s advantage. Essentially, ULM is a medium-sized regional teaching, research and service institution with a major economic impact on the area and region, and because of its location ULM attracts high-quality faculty and students and values collaboration. Further, the academic portfolio of ULM is well-positioned for faculty to investigate the most pressing societal challenges and to (hopefully) make discoveries to improve the quality of life for all citizens, like health care (ULM has high quality programs in the health sciences, pharmacy, gerontology, social work, and a new College of Osteopathic Medicine), science (ULM has quality math, chemistry, and biology programs), drones (ULM has an Aviation Program) and k-12 education (ULM has a school of education). Indeed, the window is open now for ULM to take full advantage of its location and potential, and especially its dedication to student success. I am an academic entrepreneur and the fit between my professional experiences and the unique challenges confronting ULM are perfectly aligned. I would be thrilled to lead ULM in its next steps in fulfilling its mission.

The brief following description of my leadership experiences provides a strong commentary on my strength to lead ULM. Since January 1, 2020, I assumed the role of Special Assistant to the President, working exclusively on expanding Lamar University’s digital online program capabilities, enrollments, and accreditation as Lamar is engaged in the SACSCOC ten-year review, which is critical to the university’s future. Prior to that, I served for nearly five years as Provost and Vice President for

Academic Affairs at Lamar and I am proud of my accomplishments. I led five Colleges; Arts and Sciences (including a School of Nursing), Business, Education and Human Development, Engineering, and Fine Arts and Communication. Other direct reports included the Honor’s College, Graduate School, Office of Research and Sponsored Programs, Center for Teaching and Learning Enhancement (CTLE), and the Mary and John Gray Library. With 615 instructional faculty actively engaged in teaching, research and service with a total budget of $95 million, Lamar has 65 undergraduate, 34 masters, and 5 doctoral programs, and has slightly more that 15,400 enrolled students (45% White, 27% African-American, and 19% Hispanic) this fall, a record at Lamar and achieved under my leadership. ULM is a complex organization with roughly 9,000 students. I arrived at The University of Texas at Dallas in 2005 and the enrollment was 14,000, and I left in 2015, as Vice Provost and the enrollment was nearly 25,000. Lamar currently has 15,400 students. Size aside, the primary goal of each institution is to intellectually challenge and prepare students to graduate on time and enter the labor market. The academic challenges Lamar’s students (most of whom are first generation students) face are daunting and lead to completion issues. Nearly half the entering freshman class (about 1,500) are required to enroll in a developmental math, reading, or writing class— roughly 100 freshmen must complete all three courses. In July 2015, Lamar University’s four-year graduation rate for full time degree seeking freshmen was 9%; the six-year rate was 32%, and the retention rate for these same students after one-year was 57%. I knew immediately that bold steps had to be taken or else the long-term financial picture of the institution would be in jeopardy. Texas higher education funding is based on formula funding (i.e., student headcount and student credit hours, weighted by level and by degree program). I led our advising and financial aid staff to benchmark Georgia State and South Alabama Universities to better understand their student success initiatives, especially the operation of the student success collaborative (or SSC), an intrusive advising software platform. Lamar implemented the SSC in 2016-2017. As a result, the figures above have risen to, 18%, 34%, and 66%. While these latter numbers are moving in the right direction, it is important to note that a high percentage of Lamar students are academically challenged. I instilled a culture of completion and student success. Further, I led efforts to implement such innovative programs as math and engineering boot camps to attract (and retain) high-quality students in the summer, implemented undergraduate and graduate research expositions, reorganized and re-energized our programs for African American males. As President of ULM, I will continue my enthusiastic dedication to student success and will work closely with the Provost on this essential priority. As Provost, I had the opportunity to work with deans and department chairs to make critical hiring decisions. Most of my appointments were made at the junior faculty level, however, I took every opportunity to hire new department chairs and invest in new leadership. The leadership bench at Lamar, like most universities today, is thin and I addressed this difficult issue and enhanced professional development. For example, I initiated a new chair orientation to assist new department chairs to better understand the transition from faculty member to program administrator. I also had a shadow program where current and fairly new department chairs, one day per month, observed a day in the life of a provost, to inspire future higher education leadership. I always have an open door and am approachable. As President, I will explore current ULM’s programming and find and expand creative ways to support new leadership and develop future leaders to build the university leadership pool. It is imperative to develop a university talent pool and be aggressive in creating a diverse faculty profile that mirrors the student profile. My diversity efforts resulted in the hiring of a female department chair in Civil Engineering, an African American female department chair in Communications, a Hispanic History scholar and an African-American female Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, and an African-American female Assistant Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences. Also, last year I hired a new female Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, a female Assistant Provost to direct our Enrollment

Management efforts and a female Vice Provost for Digital and Online Learning. As Provost, I also hired a new Dean in the College of Engineering and a new Associate Provost for Research and Sponsored Programs. I can lead search efforts (including working/contracting with professional search firms) and make quality hires who in turn become productive academic management team members. Universities must implement new degree programs to attract new students. I have that experience and implemented five new academic degree programs: BS in Computer Game Development, BS in Cybersecurity, MS in Management Information Systems, MS in Nutrition, MS in Port and Marine Terminal Management, Certificates in Educational Diagnostics, Mental Health Counseling, and Vocology. These new degree programs were implemented in a few of our academic niches to grow online enrollment, especially at the masters level. The new Educational Diagnostics certificate now has over 200 enrolled students. As program chair of the Department of Criminology at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), I developed and implemented a new Criminology Doctoral program, with approval of UTD executive administration, The University of Texas System Board of Regents, The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and SACSCOC, a huge accomplishment that has produced many highly successful Ph.Ds. I know how these moving parts operate and what it takes to successfully move new degree products through proposal formation, to curriculum initiation and to faculty and student recruitment. I understand where to strategically build academic programs and enrollments in times of tight financial resources. New degree programs stem from the creativity and knowledge of faculty members who understand best “what’s next” in future academic programming. As President, I will use my program building experience to work with the Provost to strategically build new academic programs and future enrollment pipelines. I am committed to transformative student learning experiences. Lamar is surrounded by industrial plants, rail yards, refineries, and supply chains related to the petrochemical industry, and these companies have hired our students for generations. I partnered with the Dean of Engineering to bring state of the art processing control machines to campus ($400,000). Two local companies were also involved in this collaboration which will allow our students to learn on equipment they will see in almost any industrial plant. LU students will be job ready, possessing marketable skills upon graduation thus enhancing their employability. This equipment will benefit faculty interested in engineering/science education as they can assess student outcomes, for example, regarding equipment use and employability in the near term and long-term career trajectories. I will translate this experience into action at ULM and work with regional industry partners and the Provost to create and invest in innovative educational programs with career relevance. Universities must demonstrate return on investment. I worked with our Vice President for Finance (and President) to decentralize academic budgeting operations, pushing financial responsibility to the College and departmental level. Deans and department heads now have greater control over local financial resources but with strict oversight and accountability measures (e.g., enrollment growth, retention and graduation metrics, transferability, time to degree, space utilization). Under my leadership, academic financial accountability and the leadership culture have shifted to forward thinking by tying College (including college/unit budget presentations) and department performance metrics to financial resources. This new budgeting system will create transparency and serious discussions university-wide about resource planning. I look forward to learning how ULM’s budget is formed and tied to academic performance metrics and strategic planning. I will bring my passion and drive for these important initiatives to ULM and look forward to engaging the campus community to strengthen its long-term financial foundation with their input.

I recognize the critical value of classroom instruction and the role of the faculty in impacting student and their family’s lives. Not every prospective student seeks a residential learning experience. Lamar has an extensive online presence with over 7,000 fully online students, most in graduate education degree programs. I worked with Academic Partnerships (or AP, a Dallas-based company) to monitor and market existing programs, develop new and to modify (in collaboration with faculty) existing degree programs. I also worked with AP to develop and implement a “chat bot” at our new student service center in McAllen, Texas. The chat bot is an advising feature for students who call in or visit the center online. We selected this region because a number of Lamar alumni live there, as well as to grow our on campus Hispanic student population and become a Hispanic serving institution. I understand the intense competition for students in the digital world and the financial resources necessary to deliver quality distance education products “24/7/365”. At ULM, I will make it a first-year priority to visit local and regional high schools to cultivate relations with school administrators and community leaders to market the campus as a destination point, or university of first choice for their students, especially their top ranked students, and examine ULM’s online portfolio. As President, I will use my experiences to build on and grow faculty instructional capabilities by building innovative teaching and learning modalities. I will take full advantage of ULM’s great location to recruit students. Presidents must raise the financial resources to support the university enterprise and I possess the character, key personality traits and enthusiasm (building relationships and trust) to make successful “asks” while working in concert with university advancement staff. I will embrace and work tirelessly on driving forward this important mission centric endeavor. I have parlayed relationship and trust building into securing an endowment for a professorship in our Speech and Hearing Sciences department and made the proposal presentation on student success to an alumnus who in turn made a $1M+gift ($250,000 per year for five years) to the College of Business. I worked with the Department of Civil Engineering to develop plans regarding a $1.5M gift to enhance the research profile of the department. I can work across disciplines and will use these experiences to work with ULM’s advancement personnel to cultivate donors and seek funds to create, for example, chaired professorships. Relationship building takes time, even years, and I have the patience to invest in the long game. This extends to growing scholarship funds to attract well qualified students and as President I will make it a priority. I will also work with The ULM Foundation to grow additional gifts to the university in support of its mission. I have worked closely with talented faculty, staff, students and seasoned administrators to develop plans and execute them on time. I am a consensus-builder but I am not afraid to make tough decisions (e. g., tenure and promotion) in the university’s long-term interests. I believe in shared governance and as a provost, dean and program chair, I have convened faculty retreats and meetings to discuss unit strengths and weaknesses, where and how to make improvements, and to identify opportunities that benefit the group. Leaders must cultivate relationships, listen, and make decisions carefully. I regularly made walking tours where I met with and listened to faculty and staff in each academic unit on campus. I assembled a student focus group to inform me about their academic experiences from a consumer’s point of view. I also met monthly with Faculty Senate and the executive committee of our Council of Instructional Department Chairs. Such engagements are vital to establish and maintain trust, transparency, and credibility, and to understand the campus community’s pulse. I know what it takes to work in a lean administrative environment and how to delegate and groom the next generation of leaders. As Provost, I wanted every employee to feel a sense of importance and pride in their institutional contribution and in my first year as president, I will meet with each and every department on campus with the same passionate goal that each and every employee should feel a sense of importance and pride in their institutional contribution. ULM is a proud member of the Sun Belt athletic conference. As a member of this Division 1 conference, ULM has a strong tradition of fielding competitive men and women’s teams. As Provost I had a close relationship with our new athletic director, and I was also a member of the search committee that hired

our previous head football coach. I understand the function and role of athletics on a college campus and the meaning of sports to the campus community, including the alumni, student body, and region. In my perspective, collegiate sports is the window to the university. Moreover, my perspective is informed by the fact that my two children played Division I collegiate sports and I know first-hand the work and dedication student athletes make to the classroom and their team sport. Make no mistake, I will gladly attend Warhawk sporting events, fund raisers, banquets, and graduation ceremonies in support of student athletes. I will wear the maroon and gold with great pride! Higher education’s role is changing rapidly due to lagging resources and the demand for greater accountability by key stakeholders, especially parents. Universities are under close scrutiny that will only intensify in the coming years. I have extensive experience and a deep understanding of university operations and have been highly successful in quickly responding to changing institutional environments. Higher education today demands thoughtful and strategic long-term leadership. My experience as a Provost and now as Special Assistant to the President, and other past administrative roles, facilitate my ability to think ahead and be proactive. Presidents today must have an accumulated array of experience in complex university environments. I possess this experience and have the enthusiasm, passion, approachability, resilience, communication and social and listening skills necessary to lead the university community in challenging, yet opportunity-filled times. To ensure transparency, I will make it a point to have an annual “State of the University” address. I bring administrative and leadership value to the University of Louisiana, Monroe in the following ways: (1) I have been through three natural disasters at Lamar University in the last three years and I have the management experience to successfully navigate a campus through hard times, especially in the wake of the current COVID-19 public health disaster, and keep enrollments on track, and even grow enrollment. I am disaster tested and capable to lead ULM at this critical juncture; (2) I will work with the Provost and help lead campus leaders on key university and strategic goals and objectives; (3) cultivate relationships, expand team work, build/diversify the faculty and leadership bench to grow enrollments and maximize student success based on quality metrics and data analytics; (4) grow public/private partnerships and community collaborations for academic, research, and economic development initiatives; (5) work with all constituencies and stakeholders to build upon the “Strategic Plan, 2016-2021”, (6) be fully engaged in fundraising activities, and in working with the Provost, meet all compliance standards for any accrediting body; (7) champion the teaching, scholarship, and service missions, and valued traditions of ULM ; and (8) be the greatest ULM champion, a fully engaged, steadfast, enthusiastic 24/7, spirited member of the Warhawk family, and proud to tell the impressive and unique ULM story. It would be an honor and great privilege to serve as the President of The University of Louisiana, Monroe, a student-centered institution on the move. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Very Respectfully, James W. Marquart, Ph.D.

Additional Accomplishments Underscoring my Professional Qualifications and Personal Qualities. A. Retention and Enrollment strategy and plan at Lamar University. I hired an Assistant Provost to manage our enrollment strategy (with the help of Ruffalo, Noel Levitz) and implemented the Student Success Collaborative (EAB), an intrusive advising platform, and Navigate, a platform that tracks and monitors student success teams as these teams assist students across financial aid, housing, and other student services. One of my first meetings will be with enrollment, recruitment and admissions, and marketing personnel to understand student recruiting plans and strategies in Louisiana and adjacent states. B. I have experience working with Texas State legislators and their staffs. At Lamar, I worked with local legislators to enact legislation protecting our online master’s degree in education in the 85th (2017) legislative session. Two other Lamar administrators and I, met with our local state legislators to educate them about our requirements in offering digital content to hundreds of aspiring K-12 principals. Our work led to the passage of two bills—SB 1839 and SB 1963. These companion bills were signed into law by Governor Gregg Abbott in June 2017 and protected Lamar’s ability to offer on-line/digital degree products in the masters of education area. Few bills become law and success depends upon cultivating and building relationships between academic enterprises and political leaders. The process was lengthy and we testified before Texas house and senate public education committees on the role of technology in student evaluations via digital modalities. We also offered testimony on numerous occasions before various Texas Education Agency committees. This overall experience improved my understanding of the significance of building partnerships with political leaders. I also work closely with Texas State University System (TSUS) and Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) personnel to move through new degree products. C. I regularly attend SACSCOC meetings to stay abreast of accreditation tenets (and to anticipate policy changes) and faculty credentialing operations and led our SACS team in preparing our reaffirmation report which was submitted to the offsite team members in September 2019. Along with our report, we also submitted our Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), which involves a math pathways program. The QEP will impact almost every academic department on campus. We recently received our offsite team’s review of our report—the average number of areas of noncompliance is 15, our review contained 11 and we are responding to these areas right now. Our a site team visit was in April 2020 but has been postponed due to the current public health situation. Finally, we were notified last summer by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) that all of our undergraduate Engineering programs were fully accredited. I understand the regional and discipline-specific accreditation process and its importance in shared governance. D. Hurricane Harvey academic programming. Beaumont (Texas) was inundated by 60 inches of rain in early September 2017. I, along with several colleagues early on and then with our college deans as time progressed, implemented a communication plan that kept faculty and students informed of class start dates. We also implemented additional online enrollment periods. Our collaborative efforts led to the university starting face-to-face classes one-week late and keeping students slated for a December graduation date on time to receive their diplomas. This disaster opened minds to the concept of resiliency in action. Indeed remaining calm and patient in the face of enormous devastation was the order of the day and beyond. Briefly, Lamar “lost” well over 800 students. They never re-enrolled which placed severe financial constraints on the institution such as reduced faculty hiring and our inability to give employees a salary raise in 2018. I understand the implications of enrollment shortfalls on university finances and operations, and employee morale. E. Programming for a new Science and Technology building (75,000 sq. ft., opened in September 2019). I led an interdisciplinary team of faculty colleagues in devising the academic programming to outfit upper division biology and bio- chemistry laboratories, plant/tissue rooms, and a maker space modeled after the “Design Kitchen” at Rice University. Classroom instruction in the new setting (“science on display”) will

Page 7: Mr. Mark Romero, Chair Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802...April 1, 2020 Mr. Mark Romero, Chair Board of Supervisors University of Louisiana System 1201 North Third Street, Suite 7-300

rely on hands-on or experiential learning that will engage students and enable their success in the classroom and work environment. I am faculty driven, seek collaboration, and am committed to shared governance and can work effectively across the disciplines. Also I led a competitive process whereby four interdisciplinary research teams were selected to occupy research space in this building. These research teams also span four of five colleges, and will drive niche or strategic research themes tied to growing academic departments and research active faculty (e. g., air and water quality, cyber security, aging in place, and stem education or teaching teachers to teach science). The maker space will also be used to attract k-12 students via summer camps to learn about science and to assist k-12 teachers learn how to implement their own campus maker spaces and to create enrollment pipelines. The programming in this new building represents the present and future requirements in academic learning spaces and research facilities. The new building (the first new academic classroom building in 40 years) also represents a new image and identity for the university that will greatly assist in campus marketing and student recruitment. F. Implemented five new online academic degree programs. (BS in Computer Game Development, BS in Cybersecurity, MS in Management Information Systems, MS Nutrition, MS in Port and Marine Management, Certificates in Educational Diagnostics, Mental Health Counseling, and Vocology). I appreciate the notion of timing and the need for creative new directions in the institution’s degree granting portfolio. These latter new programs are situated in niches where Lamar can compete on a level playing field for net new students. Lamar cannot compete with or duplicate offerings at UT Austin or TAMU or the University of Houston, or launch new programs in every unit. Instead I worked with deans and department chairs to: (1) examine future workforce projections and needs at the national, state and local levels; (2) examine current/future enrollment/student credit hours and degree production data by unit to assess growth potential; and (3) evaluate how and where we can best apply our institution’s resources—I sought niches that built on our existing strengths. I am an academic entrepreneur and can partner with faculty to drive new program building efforts and drive net new enrollments. Over the summer, I worked with a computer science faculty member to create, this fall, our own “Cardinals eSports” team who have already been involved in two competitive tournaments. The eSports initiative represents a new and exciting student recruitment and marketing tool for prospective students. G. Implemented a new Doctoral program in Criminology at The University of Texas at Dallas, UTD. This experience facilitated my working with UTD central administration, the University of Texas Board of Regents, and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. This experience afforded me the opportunity to better understand how these “moving parts” operate to successfully move new degree products through proposal formation to degree initiation. This new degree program also had the vast support of UTD’s central administration in its quest to become a tier one research university, as a key goal in this transition was the state’s requirement for emerging research universities to graduate a minimum of 300 doctoral students per year. The Criminology program has figured prominently into this strategic objective for its growth potential and student production at all levels, especially doctoral students. H. Faculty Retention. I used faculty development leaves (or sabbaticals) to enhance their scholarly or creative activities and we have expanded the pool of internal funds to support faculty research. We initiated two programs, the Distinguished Faculty Members in Research and another in Teaching and both competitive programs include monetary awards. Last summer the Office of Academic Affairs implemented a summer competitive funding program for junior faculty wherein seven awardees were provided $8,000 to focus on the final preparation of a peer reviewed paper, a professional performance or exhibition. The program will also continue this summer. I also oversaw the President’s Visionary Initiatives program, a research endeavor that began in the fall of 2015 and awarded 5 projects roughly $100,000 per year for three years. The primary goal of these projects was interdisciplinary inquiry to expand the scholarly activity and profile of the faculty, strengthen research partnerships and to increase

Page 8: Mr. Mark Romero, Chair Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802...April 1, 2020 Mr. Mark Romero, Chair Board of Supervisors University of Louisiana System 1201 North Third Street, Suite 7-300

the impact of university innovation and led to the creation of the Center for History and Culture of Southeast Texas and the upper Gulf Coast. Finally, I sent faculty members and chairs to leadership programs and had one faculty member win an American Council of Education (ACE) fellowship, 2018.

I. Undergraduate Research. I invested financial resources into the Office of Undergraduate Research(OUR) to support (30 in 2019) faculty-student summer research projects. The 2018 OUR research expohosted eight student research panels and over 80 research posters that involved over 100 undergraduatestudents in the research and learning enterprise. I invested gladly in this program because of its richpayoff for our students as some have taken their creative research experiences to enter and thrive in suchprestigious graduate programs as Rice, Arizona State, Yale, and Michigan.

J. Salary compression. The President and I worked (spring 2018) with faculty senate colleagues to draftand implement a “faculty salary market advance” policy and process. In general, to be considered for amarket advance, a faculty member’s salary in relation to a faculty member’s rank must be out ofalignment with peer institution salaries for faculty at similarly situated universities and departments withsimilar accomplishments in the same discipline, with comparable rank and time of service. Externalreview of the eligible faculty member’s complete record is required, much like the tenure and promotionprocess.

K. Faculty Advocacy. I committed funding for the development and expansion of our faculty … a facultythat must value and enhance the student learning experience through dedicated teaching, service, andresearch activity and the renovation of learning environments. I made a concerted effort to grow both thesize and quality of the instructional faculty, and hired over two dozen tenure-track faculty at all levels. Iinterviewed almost every tenure track applicant brought to campus to interview. I hosted a “Provost’sKickoff” at the onset of the academic year to onboard new faculty, to welcome and introduce them intotheir new journey. Last fall I contracted with the Association of College and University Educators(ACUE) to deliver an evidenced-based program to improve the pedagogical skills of 20 of our facultymembers. As President, I will work with the Provost to implement, if not already in existence, the latterkinds of programs to recruit, assist, and retain faculty.

L. Articulation agreement activity. Regional universities, like Lamar, must increase their transfer studentpopulations as well as to implement a seamless transition from 2-year to 4-year institutions. I havedeveloped strong external relationships (along with articulation plans) with area community colleges(e.g., Lamar State College - Orange, Houston Community College, Lone Star Community College, SanJacinto Community College) and universities. I concluded an articulation agreement for a dual Businessdegree between Lamar University and Siam Technology College in Bangkok, Thailand. The agreementalso calls for student and faculty exchanges, and will lead to mutually beneficial collaborations that fosterthe cultural development of our students and faculty. I am a relationship builder and will use theseexperiences to develop new transfer student-centered programs for the undergraduate and graduatestudent populations.M. System dynamics. Lamar University is a component institution the Texas State University System(which includes Lamar University, Lamar Institute of Technology (2 year institution), Lamar StateCollege-Orange (2 year institution), Lamar State College- Port Arthur (2 year institution), Sam HoustonState University, Sul Ross State University and Texas State University.
