I was hired to help keep things afloat in a time of unease and transition. My initial responsibilities were wide-ranging as the School of Arts & Sciences went through a period of leadership transition. Duties included facilities management, equipment purchases, enrollment management, student-related issues, event planning, staffing coordination, and a long list of "other duties as assigned."When a new Dean was hired, but before the staff was reorganized, my responsibilities shifted from my initial set at Hunter. During this time my responsibilities included oversight and management of all research funding and facilities; acted as liaison for the Dean's Office to all graduate programs within the School of Arts & Sciences. Specific duties included managing grant & equipment funds, overseeing facilities-related issues (from classrooms to research labs), and the graduate admissions cycle from admission to graduation.With the reorganization of the staff in the Dean's Office and on the heels of a key retirement, I was given expanded responsibilities and a staff of nearly a dozen to manage. My ultimate portfolio of duties included management of newly-created Operations Unit within the School of Arts & Sciences, Hunter College's largest academic unit and the largest academic unit within the City University of New York (CUNY) system. I managed staff and operations for all budgetary and financial matters (including grant funds), personnel matters (including faculty promotion & tenure), all facilities (from classroom to research laboratories) issues, and again, mostly "other duties as assigned."

I was the first Public Member to sit on the accreditation commission.
