Following a national search, Grover "Cleve"
Gilmore has been appointed dean of the Mandel School of Applied
Social Sciences, effective July 1. He has served as interim dean
since January 2002.
 The
announcement was made by James W. Wagner, CWRU's interim president.
Gilmore succeeds former dean Darlyne Bailey,
who left CWRU in January to become vice president of Teachers
College at Columbia University.
A professor of psychology, Gilmore also
chaired the department of psychology and was serving as former
associate dean of CWRU's College of Arts and Sciences when he
was chosen to serve as Mandel's interim dean. His appointment,
which has been approved by the University's Board of Trustees,
is for an initial two-year term.
"We are delighted that someone of Cleve
Gilmore's stature has agreed to take on this important position
and that he has received such strong support from the faculty,
students, staff and friends of the Mandel School," said James
Wagner, CWRU's interim president. "With his intimate knowledge
of the University, he will be able to continue to provide leadership
for the excellent work taking place at the school."
Gilmore joined the CWRU faculty in 1975
as an assistant professor in the department of psychology. He
was named associate professor in 1981 and became a full professor
in 1994. In addition, Gilmore has served as acting chair of the
department of statistics for the 1999-2000 academic year; chair
of the executive committee for the College of Arts and Sciences
from 1998-1999; chair of the department of psychology from 1985-1990;
chair of the CWRU Faculty Senate from 1989-1990; and director
of the Experimental Psychology Program from 1983-1985.
Currently, Gilmore serves on the advisory
boards of the Alzheimer's Disease Center of University Hospitals
and the University Center on Aging and Health. In addition, he
has held numerous leadership roles with the local Boy Scouts of
America, earning the Award of Merit and the Silver Beaver Award,
the highest awards given to Boy Scout volunteers.
CWRU students have honored Gilmore with
the John S. Diekhoff Award for Distinguished Graduate Teaching
in 1984 and with nominations in 1991 and 1999 for Undergraduate
Teaching Excellence Award and in 1981, 1997, 1998 and 1999 for
the Carl F. Wittke Award for Undergraduate Teaching.
Gilmore holds a bachelor's degree in psychology
from Brandeis University and master's degree and doctorate from
Johns Hopkins University.

chaired by Merl C. "Terry" Hokenstad Jr., Ralph S. and Dorothy
P. Schmitt Professor at the Mandel School and himself a former
dean of the school. The committee's membership included other
faculty as well as Mandel School students and alumni. Auerbach
