Wednesday, May 23, 2007NEWS:EDUCATIONAL & STUDENT SERVICES LEADERSHIP CHANGES:Ed Berry, associate vice president and dean of students, has been appointed associate vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His last day at UNI will be June 20. Beginning July 1, Jon Buse, assistant dean of students, will assume the position of dean of students. In addition, on May 15 Roland Carrillo returned to his position as director of financial aid. This move enables the university to develop a position solely dedicated to enrollment. A committee will be put in place to determine the role and scope of this new position. A national search for the enrollment position will begin after those decisions have been made. University Registrar Philip Patton has agreed to provide interim leadership for enrollment.
