FALL 2003 THROUGH SUMMER 2004-HUMBOLDT STATE UNIVERSITY: *CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM & MASS COMMUNICATION I handled all administrative duties for this Department that included 8 full-time faculty, two administrative assistants, 12 student workers, and 6 part-time faculty. This was a year-round appointment. During this time, the number of majors grew by more than 10%, and two new interdisciplinary minors were created. Experiential Learning in Ethics and Communication was created with the Philosophy Department, and Docent Studies was created with the History Department. Both of these required considerable effort, including meetings, filings, consensus building, and presentations. I also worked as part of a larger University committee tasked to propose a formal Institute for Environmental Journalism, a joint effort with “Internews”, the largest on-line news service in the world. I organized a presentation to the University and local non-profits, and prepared a sample curriculum that included elements of Philosophy and Environmental Science.

This full-time effort involved production and programming as well as show facilitation and numerous meetings with volunteers and content producers in these areas. I conducted a series of workshops focusing on basic writing, production and announcing skills for all station volunteers engaged in any activity relating to news programming. This was done to both generate new content and upgrade that already being produced. In the Summer of 1999, I was also KHSU-FM Acting General Manager.

The programming on all three venues was largely produced by students as a part of their coursework.
