Administration Accomplishments Accreditation Consistently successful accreditation cycles—including university, school, and department levels: Middle States Commission on Higher Education, National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), CAEP (formerly NCATE), annual and major reviews by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), and American Music Therapy Association. A 2016–17 self-study is now underway for the next NASM review cycle; a 2016 major review recently submitted to PDE is pending results. Assessment Systematic assessment points serving as gateways are embedded across department programs. Examples include Freshman Interviews, Sophomore Evaluations, and Junior Proficiencies for all undergraduate and post-baccalaureate music-education majors— in addition to state-required tests for post-graduation certification. Annual reports are provided to the university for all undergraduate and graduate programs, articulating intended and actual outcomes (along with supportive evidence). A current project in support of assessment efforts is a new Alumni Survey, anticipated Spring 2017. Budgets Manage and balance annual department budgets, with a primary focus on faculty support (e.g., conferences and professional development); curricular resources (e.g., classroom and technique instruments); student preparation (e.g., guest faculty and professional-association events); and staff needs (e.g., office equipment). Collaborate with upper administration for other, significant department needs (e.g., faculty, equipment, and infrastructure). Curricula Completed a recent, comprehensive retooling of the undergraduate/post-baccalaureate Music Education curriculum—addressing university core and state certification requirements while adding new degree courses per

faculty guidance (Eurhythmics for Music Educators, Piano for Choral Music Educators, Teaching Lab, and a series of eight major methods courses). In addition, the combined expertise between Music Therapy and Music Education led to the creation of a new undergraduate course—Inclusive Teaching Strategies for the Music Classroom—to address emerging state requirements for Special Education. The process involved faculty, alumni, and community stakeholders. A similar process is near completion for the master’s Music Education, shifting from a summers-based program to a hybrid model—two-week summer residency with online components, combined with online courses fall and spring. Professional courses were redesigned after updating program mission and goals, organized around three themes: Foundations (Approaches and Theories, Leadership, Curriculum and Assessment, Music and the Mind); Critical Inquiry (Qualitative Research, Quantitative Research, Project); and Application (Creativity, Embodiment, Technology). Facilities and Equipment New faculty and staff offices—and a major Music Education instrument storage facility consolidating and securing inventory—were among large-scale building renovations addressing ensemble rehearsal space, chamber/solo performance venue, video/sound recording (providing on-campus experiences for students), and consolidated teaching areas for Music Education. A recent $100,000 university grant provided significant replacements and additions of music instruments (brass, string, percussion, and woodwind); secured funds for classroom technology (including the addition of a Smart Board for the Music Education’s general music methods sequence). Faculty and Staff Created a new full-time, tenure line for Early Childhood/Elementary General Music Education; chaired the national, good-faith search. (The colleague hired recently received tenure and promotion.) Created a new Administrative Assistant position for Music Education. (The position is now filled, providing department-wide support.) Created four new adjunct positions for undergraduate/post-baccalaureate courses (in tandem with curricular revisions—Eurhythmics for Music Education, Voice for Music Education I/II, Vocal/Choral Methods, Marching Band Techniques), along with three new supervisor positions for student teachers (Band, General Music, Strings/Orchestra). Chaired a recent and successful, national, good-faith search for a full-time, tenure-line Director of Choral Activities. The new colleague is now in her second year, working toward third-year review and eventual tenure decision. Finally, a tenure-line search is underway for a collaborative position between my department (specifically Music Therapy) and the School of Nursing. Student Recruitment Outreach efforts among regional school districts, state and regional professional events, and a wide alumni network support the consistent attainment of annual enrollment targets. Further, matriculates meet rigorous department standards (demonstrated through audition results) and are often among the top-tier of entering students across the university (when comparing SAT scores). Beyond local and regional efforts, faculty work together on behalf of prospective students (and in support of efforts from the Music Admissions Office) in communication (calls and e-mails); campus visits (class attendance, individual meetings, studio lessons); and interviews and informational sessions during audition days. Parents are welcomed and involved in all stages. Professional Development External Organizations American Council on Education (ACE) / Council of Independent Colleges (CIC): ACE Department Chairs Workshop (2010, Arlington VA): Chairing the Academic Department. CIC Department and Division Chair Workshop (2014, Charlotte NC). ACE topics from among managing conflict, legal issues, faculty and staff evaluations, effective decision-making, developing a collegial environment, and program assessment; CIC focus on developing institution-wide perspectives, communication and collaboration, and strategic planning—with attention to admissions, faculty development, and student affairs. Conversation and group work across the two workshops further addressed budget and resource management, curricular leadership, and broad-scale planning. Duquesne University Academic Chair Series (2004–Present). An annual slate of conversations, panel discussions, and workshops designed for university department chairs covering (among other topics) budget management, promotion and tenure process, junior faculty mentorship, performance counseling, community building within the department, effective faculty peer reviews, and reflected best-self portrait. While clarifying and supporting university policies and practices, these many opportunities provide an essential forum for department chairs across campus to discuss concerns and share approaches in the administration of their respective departments.

Service Learning and Community Engagement 2011–Present: Established a new band program at St. Benedict the Moor School, an underserved area in the Hill District of Pittsburgh. Pre-service music teachers1 assisted in all stages of planning with school administrators and staff members from The Extra Mile Foundation: facility, budget, instrument purchase, scheduling, and recruitment activities (including individual student meetings and an evening parent night). Juniors in excellent-standings are hired annually by the foundation as part-time teachers. (Five juniors currently hold teaching positions for the 2016–17 school year.)

2012–13: Created an annual Elementary Band Night for the Trinity Area School District. Undergraduate students2 assist in all planning stages with district music staff, and lead evening master-classes for first- and second-year elementary students.
