I am now in my twentieth year of higher education administration, currently serving in my tenth year as Dean and Chief Administrative Officer of 91²Ö¿â’s Tuscarawas campus. My position affords the opportunity to lead the academic, enrollment, fund-raising and business aspects of the campus. 91²Ö¿â Tuscarawas is located in New Philadelphia, Ohio and serves a multi-county region centered around Tuscarawas County. Our campus is recognized for excellence in academic achievement, strong relationships with the business community through workforce development, and commitment to the performing arts. Major differentiators include serving as an international touring house for broadway series shows, grammy award winning vocalists and family entertainment. We also serve as the home of national and international corporations through our Tolloty Technology Incubator. Our Golden Eagles compete nationally in athletics as a member of the USCAA.
