ATHENS,
Ohio -- Gary S. Neiman, associate dean of the College of
Fine and Professional Arts at Kent State University, has
been named dean of the College
of Health and Human
Services
at Ohio University. Neiman replaces former college Dean
Barbara Chapman and will begin work July
1.
Neiman has
been an associate dean at Kent State since 1990, providing
the 5,500-student college with leadership in the areas of
research and scholarly activity, extramural funding and
outcomes assessment.
At Ohio,
Neiman will oversee the degree programs, budgets, long-range
plans, fund raising and faculty and staff development of the
college's six schools and its clinical facilities.
"I am
delighted that Gary Neiman will be joining Ohio University
as dean of the College of Health and Human Services," said
Provost
Sharon Brehm. "He has extensive administration experience
and a proven track record of developing high quality
academic programs and collaborative research endeavors. He
will be an excellent addition to an exceptionally talented
group of academic deans at Ohio University."
Neiman
also served as co-director of the Akron Craniofacial Center
at Children's Hospital Medical Center since 1977. He was
director of the School of Speech Pathology and Audiology at
Kent State from 1983 to 1990 and is a former director of the
Speech and Hearing Clinic at Kansas State University and a
speech pathologist on the facial deformity team at Carle
Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Ill.
"The
college will be faced with a unique opportunity to engage in
collaborative activities as it moves into a new building in
the near future," Neiman said. "I would certainly like to be
a significant force in fostering interdisciplinary
collaboration within the College of Health and Human
Services and with other academic units on campus. Another
goal would be to continue to build on the high quality of
the programs in the college in order to offer world-class
education, research and outreach to Ohio University's
stakeholders."
Neiman
studied at the University of Illinois, where he completed a
doctorate in speech and hearing in 1973, a master's degree
in speech pathology in 1971 and a bachelor's degree in
communications in 1969.
