Steve Hoagland has been named the University's new associate
dean of graduate studies. Hoagland arrives at CWRU with broad
academic and administrative experience in higher education, including
institutional planning and analysis, retention and enrollment
management and research and graduate studies. 
That experience encompasses three years of service at a small
private, liberal arts institution and 11 at public research-oriented
universities.
Prior to his arrival at CWRU, Hoagland served as the associate
director in the Office of Research Services and Sponsored Programs
at The University of Akron and most recently as the director of
institutional research, planning and policy analysis at Walsh
University in North Canton, Ohio.
Hoagland holds a doctorate in the field of nonprofit administration
with a cognate in higher education from Old Dominion University,
where he was employed full-time while completing his doctoral
work. He has authored several publications and made numerous presentations
related to his research on the topic of research university involvement
in economic development strategies.
He also holds master's degrees in urban studies (M.U.S.) and
an M.A. in economics. His academic background also includes approximately
three full-time equivalent years' instructional experience as
an adjunct in economics, statistics and computer applications.
He has taught courses at the aforementioned institutions and at
Kent State University, Wayne College, Averett University and Tidewater
Community College.
A member of Omicron Delta Epsilon international honor society
in economics and Pi Alpha Alpha National Honor Society for Public
Affairs and Administration, Hoagland is the 1996 recipient of
the Virginia Association of Economists' Student Paper Award.
Over the past few years, he has served in various capacities
with local, regional and national level professional associations
representing fields such as research ethics, grants administration,
institutional research and planning and regional accreditation.
Earlier this year, he completed training to serve as a strategy
forum facilitator for the Higher Learning Commission's (formerly
the North Central Association) Academic Quality Improvement Project
(AQIP), a new alternative form of regional accreditation, with
which he maintains currency in performance measurement, quality
enhancement, and other processes that are designed to improve
the nation's system of higher education.
