Michael Powell Appointed as Associate Vice Chancellor

Colleagues,

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Michael A. Powell as Associate Vice Chancellor for diversity and climate, effective August 20th, 2007.

The Associate Vice Chancellor responsible for diversity and climate occupies a key leadership position on campus, charged with oversight of campus-wide programs that promote diversity and an inclusive climate for faculty, staff and students.

A graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law, Michael Powell comes to UWM from Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, where he is the Interim Associate Vice-President for Institutional Diversity/Affirmative Action Officer. His prior appointments include serving in diversity-related positions at Northwestern University, Ithaca College, and Tufts University.

Michael brings a national perspective and a broad range of experience in leading diversity programs, and I look forward to working with him and the entire campus community as we continue to meet our goals as established in the Milwaukee Commitment and Access to Success.

Sincerely,

Rita
