Sheridan and Allen named associate deans

The University College of the Fraser
Valley has hired two new associate
deans to help with the implementation --
of degree programs and with the
general increase in administrative work
caused by the growth of the institution.
Both deans were drawn from the
faculty ranks for an 18 month term.

David Allen has been named
Associate Dean, Academic Studies, and
Casey Sheridan has been named
Associate Dean, Career/Technical
Programs. Allen will leave his position
as an English instructor and department
head. Sheridan will vacate his role as
program head of the Business
Administration program.

Both Allen and Sheridan have
played prominent roles in the
development of UCFV’s first degree
programs, which will begin in
September 1992. Allen chaired the Arts
degree subcommittee this fall, while
Sheridan headed the Business
Administration degree subcommittee.

In assisting Dean of Academic
Studies Don Tunstall, Allen will help
prepare a three year plan for the
division including curriculum
development, facilities planning, and
faculty and staff recruitment.

In assisting Dean of Career
Programs Dick Bate, Sheridan will also
help with recruitment, as well as with

development of specific new programs.
Sheridan recently served a two year
term as Dean of Educational Support
Services for two years while the current
dean, Erling Close, was on a leave of
absence.

Both associate deans will be part of
the senior management team. They will
maintain their current status within the
Faculty and Staff Association
throughout their 18 month
appointments.

Allen, who lives in the Chilliwack
area, will be based at the Chilliwack
campus. Sheridan, who makes his home
in Abbotsford, will be based at the
Abbotsford campus.
