Jessica White has been appointed Director of the recently approved Graduate Certificate in College and University Teaching, a new position in the Graduate School supported by Provost Randhawa.

Starting Feb. 1, White will be responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of all aspects of the certificate program with the goal of admitting our first cohort of students in the Fall 2013.
