I have chaired the African (twice), British, Middle East, and Latin American searches, three re-appointment reviews, and a tenure review. During my ten-year stewardship of Phi Alpha Theta, I introduced innovations that have become institutionalized in the department culture. I instituted the events calendar that is presently in use, initiated the awards banquet with an invited speaker, and started Phi Alpha Theta s sponsorship of Career Day. Our students also began traveling and presenting papers at regional and national conferences. As Honors Director I took students on a field trip to a Yale University conference on slavery. A trip to Boston was also planned for the next class, but was cancelled due to a lack of department funding. I began our Career Day event with faculty and Career Services in 1995 and that format continues today with the addition of alumni participation. I also organized the first open house in our department lounge for first year students, introduced our webbased calendar, and inaugurated our newsletter Past Times.
