Gladys Hines to resign as director of University College
Ms. Gladys Hines has announced that she plans to retire at the end of
May 2005; and a national search will be conducted during the 2004-2005
academic year for her replacement. Ms. Hines has been Executive Director
of University College (formerly College I) since 2000. Over the last
two years, University College has expanded in role and scope. As a result,
President Juarez requested and subsequently received approval from the
TAMU System Chancellor to change Ms. Hines’ title from “executive
director” to “interim dean.” This title is effective
immediately.
Over the course of her career at A&M-Kingsville, Ms. Hines has been totally committed to serving our students. Under her leadership, there has been a very smooth transition from College I, which focused almost exclusively on developmental education, to University College, which has an expanded mission. Ms. Hines was very gracious to let us know a year in advance of her plans to retire. We are pleased that she will continue to provide the experience and leadership needed to further develop University College while we are conducting a search for her replacement. Additionally, she will be able to continue to assist in the reaffirmation of our SACS accreditation.
In a letter notifying me of her plans, Ms. Hines stated that “Although I will be retiring, my love for Texas A&M University-Kingsville will not diminish!!”
