UAF names dean of enrollment management

FAIRBANKS (AP) -- The University of Alaska Fairbanks has named a marketing professor to the newly created post of dean of enrollment management.

Claudia Clark will oversee the offices of admissions, registrar and financial aid as well as the Academic Advising Center.

Adding the new position will help increase student enrollment and encourage student success, said Chancellor Marshall Lind.

Clark has been an assistant professor in the university's school of management since 1999. Prior to that, she was an assistant professor in the university's Journalism department.

Before coming to Alaska she was director of marketing, communication and information at Western Montana College.
