RESPONSIBILITIES AS ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT
The Division of Community Engagement and Career Readiness provides campus-wide leadership for fostering the
growth of reciprocal and mutually beneficial targeted relationships across the USF and Tampa Bay communities in
pursuit of three key goals:
1. Our Division acts as a center of excellence for professional skill and competency development for all USF
students so that they might find success throughout their professional lives.
2. We serve as a catalyst and connector for all communities that USF serves including our stakeholders within the
University, in the Tamp Bay region, across the state of Florida and beyond.
3. We will utilize an entrepreneurial approach to develop, deliver, and manage these programs and services in a
scalable and sustainable manner, while holding ourselves to demonstrable metrics of success.
Each of the units within the Division of Community Engagement and Career Readiness play a unique and critical role in
delivering on a common goal: to build the capacity of students to attend college, complete their education successfully at the University of South Florida, and to graduate as career-ready, engaged, and employed citizens.
❖ The Florida College Access Network builds the capacity of organizations and educational institutions
throughout the state of Florida to increase access to college for underserved high school students as well as
adults.
❖ The Office of Community Engagement and Partnerships builds the capacity of faculty, students and the
community to support student learning and success, providing experiential learning through strategic
partnerships, curriculum and research development opportunities.
❖ The Office of Internships and Career Readiness builds our students’ capacity to enter the workforce by
facilitating rich and meaningful experiential learning opportunities, such as internships and Cooperative
Education, and through the delivery of innovative programming like Engaged Student Employment and the
Career Readiness Badging Program.

❖ Professional and Career Development assists our students with building actionable career development plans
that include the selection of a best-fit major, choosing an occupational pathway, and identifying the knowledge,
skills, and abilities necessary to implement their plans.
❖ While Employer Relations provides students and employers with access to employment opportunities through
platforms like Handshake and a wide array of fairs and events.
It is clear that each of these units provides a wide array of excellent programs and platforms that are available along a
student’s developmental path. By bringing them together into a single division, they increase access, support learning,
facilitate college completion, and build the essential skills that USF students need in order to graduate as employable,
career ready adults. And by working together, as a single team, the Division is focused on providing a seamless
developmental pathway for students to progress toward graduation from USF and into the next phase of their careers.
My specific role as AVP for this Division includes the following responsibilities:
❖ Provide vision and dynamic leadership to promote community engagement opportunities for all undergraduate
students at USF.
❖ Contribute to strategic planning and implementation as a member of the Student Affairs and Student Success
executive leadership team.
❖ Continue impressive gains in promoting career readiness and placement through the supervision of Career
Services and cultivating external relationships.
❖ Supervise the Offices of Employer Relations, Professional and Career Development, Internships and Career
Readiness, Community Engagement and Partnerships, and the Florida College Access Network.
❖ Develop and implement planning, performance, and accountability principles/metrics for the unit that are
consistent with USF, PBG, Preeminence, and AAU goals.
❖ As a spokesperson for USF, participate in, and present at, statewide, regional, and national student success
conferences.
❖ Contribute to the consolidation of a shared services business model across Student Affairs and Student Success.
❖ Work with colleges, USF World, and Research & Innovation to increase student participation in high impact
practices, including but not limited, to experiential learning activities, internships, service learning, e-
Portfolios, and on-campus employment.
❖ Contribute to on-going efforts of Student Affairs and Student Success to enhance the quality of the
undergraduate student experience by promoting an institutional culture supportive of student success.
❖ Fulfill other responsibilities as assigned by the Vice President for Student Affairs and Student Success.
RESPONSIBILITIES AS ASSISTANT VICE-CHANCELLOR
In 1993, the University of Kansas opened an urban location, the KU Edwards Campus, to provide permanent growth and
education in the Kansas City community and to support workforce needs in the larger KC Metro area. We pride
ourselves on putting the needs of our primarily adult-learner students first. We provide late afternoon and evening
classes to help our students balance the responsibilities of work and family. Every course at KU Edwards is taught at the
undergraduate junior level or above. Thus, by design, we partner closely with our multiple Community College
partners to provide an excellent and effective transfer experience. Because the University of Kansas enjoys a national
and international reputation, our students can be sure their hard work will pay off no matter where their career takes
them. KU Edwards Campus is also home to KU Professional & Continuing Education, a leading provider of professional
education programming, workforce training and lifelong enrichment serving Kansas City and beyond. As of Fall 2017,
KU Edwards serves 2000 students working in one or more of our 30+ graduate (master’s degrees, doctoral degrees, or
certificates) and 19 undergraduate programs (majors, minors, or certificates).

As the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Program Development at KU Edward’s campus I help to provide
leadership for the campus in collaboration with Edwards Campus leadership team and academic leadership to improve
and develop academic and educational programs for the Edwards Campus consistent with the mission and strategic plan.
A significant part of this work requires my active collaboration with our Community College partners in the KC Metro
area, building effective curriculum pathways and multi-level partnerships (everything from high-level transfer
agreements to facilitating faculty-to-faculty communications). As the Assistant Vice Chancellor, I am involved in
strategic planning activities for the Edwards Campus as a part of the senior leadership team. My primary roles are new
program development and program improvement.
New Program Development
I lead in the development of new programs at the Edwards Campus consistent with the priorities set by the Vice
Chancellor and University academic leaders on all campuses.
❖ I am tasked to identify opportunities and develops new program ideas and plans in collaboration with program
leaders, community college partners in the context of the University and Edwards Campus strategic plan and in
service of KC workforce needs.
❖ I assist new program leaders to develop strategic goals for new programs consistent with financial models and
academic unit goals.
❖ I facilitate program development with the Schools, College, and Board of Regents.
❖ I help to bring together academic units to build academically viable and valuable interdisciplinary programs
that cut across traditional department/school boundaries.
❖ I help my academic colleagues on the KU main campus capitalize on emerging opportunities that involve
workforce and non-for-profit partners in Kansas City.
Program Improvement
I lead efforts to make academic programs consistent with the mission and vision of the Edwards Campus.
❖ I assist programs with the development of strategic goals.
❖ I collaborate with program leaders on learning outcomes appropriate for the discipline.
❖ I help program leaders define collaborative opportunities with other programs across the many disciplines
within the College of Arts and Science and professional schools.
❖ I work to develop collaborations between academic programs, industry partners, and the Edwards Campus
community to support our service mission.
❖ I also develop collaborations between academic programs and the Edwards Campus to facilitate KU research
programs.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS ASSISTANT VICE-CHANCELLOR
I have been in the AVC role for just over 1 year. In that short time, I have been able to make a significant impact on the
KU Edwards campus. The accomplishments listed below provide an illustration of the kinds of opportunities and
experiences that I have enjoyed at KU Edwards.
Exemplar New Program Projects
A T C H L E Y - 7
( 8 1 3 ) 9 7 4 - 7 1 7 5 ( 7 8 5 ) 3 9 3 - 6 9 7 5 4 2 0 2 E . F O W L E R A V E , S V C 2 0 8 8 T A M P A , F L 3 3 6 2 0 r a t c h l e y @ u s f . e d u W O R K P H O N E M O B I L E P H O N E A D D R E S S E M A I L
❖ One of new programs that I am most proud of is a combination of a major, minor and a master’s degree that we
are developing in American Sign Language. This is a very large project that involves collaboration between
Johnson County Community College, the Kansas City deaf community, state agency partners, national partners,
and faculty and leadership from KU’s School of Language, Literatures, and Cultures. By the end of this
academic year we will have developed a new major in ASL and Deaf culture, a minor in Applied ASL, and one
of the first master’s degree in the country that focuses on the practice of ASL to English Interpreting. This
program will not only provide deaf individuals in Kansas and surrounding states with a top-notch ASL language
and culture program. But it will serve an acute need, through best pedagogical practice, to provide excellent
service practitioners to deaf and hard of hearing individuals in the state of Kansas and beyond.
❖ KU has long had an excellent University Honors program. However, few people were aware that it is
prohibitively difficult for a student to transfer to KU, particularly from a Community College, and complete
University Honors. This was primarily due to structural barriers within the program. This unintended problem
of inclusion was a project that I took on soon after taking on the AVC role. Through collaboration with the
leadership of the Honors program and with our Community College partners we now have a revised set of
University Honors expectations that recognize honors coursework and extracurricular activities executed prior
to a student entering KU, while also maintaining the high standards of the KU University Honors experience.
Exemplar Program Improvements
❖ We have an excellent on-line graduate training program taught by our Applied Behavioral Science department
that results in a graduate certificate that provides all required courses needed so that a student can sit for the
BACB certification examination. However, students pursuing this certificate did not have a strong local source
for acquiring the necessary practicum hours needed for credentialing. I have been leading a team that brings
together members of this academic department with representatives of a national philanthropic foundation and
a large KC area mental health services provider to build a practicum opportunity for our students. This new
practicum will launch Fall 2018. This program improvement will not only serve our students by providing
them with needed supervised therapy experience, it will also help our foundation and industries partners
address an acute workforce need that has been hampering their efforts to serve the Kansas City community.
❖ Our bachelor’s degree in Business Administration had been seeing declining enrollments, however this
semester we saw a healthy 7% increase in student credit hours for our undergrad business courses. This
improvement is in part due to my efforts to build stronger relationships with the faculty in the Business
Division at our primary Community College partner. These efforts have not only helped to “mend fences” and
build relationships between our Business School faculty and those at the Community College; but through this
significantly more collegial communication we have been able to eliminate perceived and actual transfer
barriers that were impeding what needs to be one of our key transfer relationships.
RESPONSIBILITIES AS DEPARTMENT CHAIR
During the seven years that I served as Chair for the Department of Psychology at the University of Kansas, the
department consisted of 38 faculty members (approximately 29 FTE). At the undergraduate level, we offered a B.A. and
B.G.S. in Psychology, a B.S. in Behavioral Neuroscience, and a BA/BGS in Developmental Psychology at the KU
Edwards Campus. Serving about 960 majors each year, Psychology was the fourth most popular undergraduate major on
campus. It is also the largest undergraduate major served by a single department, and we had the highest faculty to
major ratio in the College of Liberal Arts and Science (CLAS). At the graduate level, our Department offered a PhD in
Clinical, Clinical-Child, Cognitive, Developmental, Quantitative, and Social Psychology. Our Clinical and Child-Clinical
PhD programs are the only two of their kind in Kansas accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA)

and APA has recognized these programs as two of the finest graduate clinical programs in the country. In the annual
rankings of graduate programs conducted by U.S. News and World Report that was issued the year I left the Chairs job,
the department's general Psychology graduate program was ranked 21st in the country among public institutions, the
Clinical program was ranked 17th, and the Child Clinical program was ranked 5th. We were the only department in the
CLAS that was in the top-25 (US News and World Report) for all of their graduate programs. The department served an
average of 115-125 graduate students per year. Our faculty is comprised of active researchers and engages in externally
funded research bringing in about 2 million dollars in funding per year.
The following list of responsibilities represent some of the duties that are expected of the Chair of Psychology:
❖ Work with and supervise the Program Heads and Associate Chairs to facilitate Department functions.
❖ Work with and supervise all Department Staff, Lecturer Staff, and Student Employees.
❖ The Chairperson shall assume all responsibility for administering the department budget.
❖ Chair or serve on Departmental Committees to assist in the administration of departmental polices.
❖ Work with Department colleagues to develop and track performance indicators and metrics of student learning
to serve both the Undergraduate and Graduate training mission of the Department.
❖ Oversee the reporting of Departmental data to the Associate-Dean and the Dean of CLAS.
❖ Represents the Department in collaborations with other departments/programs and the administrative offices of
the College and University.
❖ The Chairperson assumes all responsibility for Department Staff, Lecturers, Graduate Teaching Assistants, and
Student Employees.
❖ With input from the faculty, the Chairperson is responsible for the appointment, promotion and evaluation of
the Faculty and Staff.
❖ The Chairperson is involved in the reaccreditation of the clinical programs, and shall delegate duties to the
faculty, staff, and students as necessary to achieve this goal.
❖ Primary responsibility for the day-to-day running of the department and shall perform the functions necessary
to implement all phases of program operation, including space allocation, equipment procurement, secretarial
staff, personnel decisions, and the overall functioning of the office.
❖ Responsible for the coordination of courses on the main campus in Lawrence, at the KU Edwards campus, and
through on-line course offerings designed to serve students across the state of Kansas and nationally.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS DEPARTMENT CHAIR
Innovation and Success in our Undergraduate Training Mission
It was particularly rewarding to support the teaching mission of the Psychology Department.
❖ I created a teaching development grant to support faculty teaching efforts.
❖ I helped us pursue and win a large competitive grant from the Association for Public and Land Grant Universities
(in collaboration with Johnson County Community College) to develop a blended/hybrid version of our
Introductory Psychology course. It is the intent of the APLU that this course be adopted by Psychology
Departments across the country. Furthermore, I was the first faculty member to teach using this new course
structure in Spring 2013. It is actually based on these local efforts to create effective hybrid courses in Psychology
A T C H L E Y - 9

that lead the Provost to ask me to serve as the Chair of a task force on Course Redesign as part of KU’s Bold
Aspirations.
❖ Evidence of this success of these efforts is provided by the fact that the Department of Psychology won the
University-wide award for Innovation in Undergraduate Teaching and the CLAS Award for Undergraduate
advising during my tenure.
❖ We were the first major in the CLAS to offer a fully on-line 2+2 degree completion program, so that we can better
support the broader educational mission of KU within the state of Kansas. I was one of the first members of my
faculty to teach a fully on-line course, which helped understand and integrate online.
❖ In partnership with leaders in two professional schools (Business and Journalism) we developed the first Double-
Degree course plans to allow students to earn a full degree in Psychology and a full degree in Marketing,
Management, or Strategic Communications, in just 4 years. Creating an Environment that Supports Multi-Disciplinary Work
I worked hard to help break down the “silo mentality” that too frequently characterizes psychology departments. This
goal was accomplished through many strategies.
❖ Changed procedures that might impede collaboration, such as changing how we allocate graduate student
resources and research space. These key resources are now allocated purely based on need and fit. Prior
procedures assigned needed resources, such as GTA and GRA funding, based on PhD program affiliation.
❖ Developed training opportunities for our graduate students so that they can be more multi-disciplinary through
the creation of both quantitative and cognitive minors.
❖ Created a pilot grant program that specifically funds research that is multi-disciplinary and fits with larger
institutional research objectives. In recent years, we have increased our collaborative and grant funded efforts
with many other units on campus, including Engineering, Visual Arts, Economics, Political Science, African and
African-American Studies, the Center for East Asian Studies, and Social Welfare, to name a few.
Promoting Funded Research
I also engaged in strategic planning with my department leadership team to increase grant funded research.
❖ As Chair we were able to more than double the amount that our department won in external grants.
❖ We also saw an improvement is in the overall size of the grants the faculty were awarded. We had three faculty
members in 2015 recognized as “leading lights” by the Provost because they were investigators on grants worth
more than one million dollars.
❖ Additionally, the total expenditures per FTE in the department went from around $25,000 per year when I was
selected to be Chair, to about $56,000 per FTE per year for FY 2014.
❖ We accomplished growth by holding multiple retreats to share ideas about how the department might be more
successful. In addition to broad discussions about “roadblocks” to success, during these retreats, I gave the faculty
the opportunity to decide on three spending priorities that might help us get grants.
❖ One of these strategies was the creation of a small research bonus (between $250-$500) for each faculty member
who had submitted an external grant. This seemed to be highly motivating and, particularly during a time when
we had not seen a merit raise in awhile, it was a nice way to provide a reward for desirable research related
activity
A T C H L E Y - 1 0
( 8 1 3 ) 9 7 4 - 7 1 7 5 ( 7 8 5 ) 3 9 3 - 6 9 7 5 4 2 0 2 E . F O W L E R A V E , S V C 2 0 8 8 T A M P A , F L 3 3 6 2 0 r a t c h l e y @ u s f . e d u W O R K P H O N E M O B I L E P H O N E A D D R E S S E M A I L
❖ To help meet the goal of generating new grants, I created the “Psychology Strategic Initiative Grant” (PSIG)
program to encourage new grant activity in line with the University’s new strategic initiatives. This fund
provides grants of up to $5,000 to faculty members so that they can collect pilot data to be used in external grant
submissions. I also created a graduate student version of the PSIG that provides a $1,000 grant to support graduate
student research.
❖ The quality of the submissions in the first two grant cycles of the PSIG program was encouragingly strong.
Furthermore, one of the first recipients of a PSIG went on to win a NSF grant based on the pilot data collected
through this PSIG program. As these examples from my time as Chair hopefully illustrate, my approach as a
department chair is to lead by consensus-building, strategic planning, transparency, and importantly, through my
own example as an active researcher and good department citizen.
Promoting a More Diverse Departmental Community
We were also very actively engaged in recruiting and retaining a faculty that is diverse. With the ongoing changing
demographics in the State of Kansas, vigilance to the issue of diversity in faculty and student recruitment had become
increasingly important.
❖ Our gender diversity in the Department was good and slowly improving (44% of the current faculty were
women when I left the position, which was up from 32% when I became Chair of Psychology). In our last
round of hires during my tenure (in the 2013-2014 academic year) we brought in four new faculty
members. Of these four, three were women.
❖ We also made significant progress in increasing the diversity of our faculty. Overall, we went from having
about 5% minority faculty to 17% minority faculty in FY 2016.
❖ In the 2016 academic year, when I left the Chair’s role, we were particularly proud to note that at that time
about 50% of our tenure-track (junior) faculty were from a minority racial group. This clearly indicates that in
recent years we have made strong progress in being able to actively and effectively recruit a diverse group of
qualified psychologists.
❖ One key to success in this area is clearly providing a climate where all faculty feel that they can be
successful. Since 2009, one Latino faculty member was successful at being promoted and tenured and two of
our African American colleagues was promoted to the rank of Full Professor. In fact, every female and every
faculty member who is from an underrepresented minority group, who came up for promotion during my
tenure as Chair, was successful.
