UAM Vice Chancellor To Be
Featured In Book From National Association Of Student Personnel
Administrators (7/21/09)
MONTICELLO, AR — Dr. Clay Brown, vice chancellor for university relations
and student affairs at the University of Arkansas at Monticello, has been
chosen from among more than 700 senior student affairs officers to be
featured in a new book from the National Association of Student Personnel
Administrators (NASPA).
Brown was chosen through a rigorous interview process that began in January.
That’s when college student personnel officers from across the country
submitted applications to serve as seminar instructors and senior leaders
for aspiring student affairs officers at the NASPA Summer Institute.
Brown was one of 200 semifinalists selected through personal interviews at
the NASPA national conference and convention held in March in Seattle. From
there, the list was narrowed to 50, and finally Brown was one of five chosen
as an instructor and seminar leader for the NASPA Summer Institute, which
was held June 13-18 at Saint Leo University in Tampa, Florida.
The five senior administrators chosen for the institute were interviewed one
more time and Brown was selected to be featured in a new book for student
personnel administrators. The book has a December 2010 publication date.
“This is a tremendous honor for Dr. Brown and a very positive reflection on
the institution as a whole,” said UAM Chancellor Jack Lassiter. “Dr. Brown
is a wonderful asset for UAM and I speak for the faculty and staff when I
offer my congratulations for this honor.”
Brown’s selection as a seminar leader placed him on a faculty team that
included members from Florida State University, the University of
Mississippi, Belmont University, and the University of Georgia.
Brown came to UAM in 2001 and became part of the university’s senior
administrative team as vice chancellor in 2005. He holds a bachelor of arts
degree in public relations from Auburn University, a master of education
degree in counseling education from Mississippi State, and a Ph.D. in higher
education administration from the University of Tennessee.
NASPA is the leading voice for student affairs administration, policy, and
practice with over 11,000 members at 1,400 campuses in 29 countries.
