[Randy Kamphaus]

Dear Faculty and Staff,

I am pleased to report that your efforts to recruit and retain a world-class faculty and staff continue to succeed. We, for example, have hired three full-time faculty so far this year, with more hires to be announced soon, and at least one additional hire anticipated in the coming months. I am deeply grateful for the work of the search committees, Amy Green, our donors, the Office of the Provost, and all who came together to assure these successful outcomes. A bit of information about your new colleagues is provided below.

George Harrison, Ph.D., has accepted the position of Senior Lecturer I and coordinator of EDUC research methods course offerings. Dr. Harrison earned his doctorate in Educational Psychology with a specialization in Measurement and Evaluation and a master’s in English as a Second Language, both at the University of Hawai`i Mānoa. Dr. Harrison is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at his alma mater, University of Hawai`i Mānoa. His interests are in evaluation and assessment, second language learning, and survey research.

Jennifer (Jen) Doty, Ph.D., will be joining us as Associate Professor of Counseling Psychology and Family and Human Services. She is currently an Assistant Professor of youth development and prevention science at the University of Florida.  Before joining the faculty at UF, she completed an interdisciplinary fellowship in adolescent health in the Division of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Health, Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota through a T32 training grant in Interdisciplinary Research Training in Child and Adolescent Primary Care. She received her doctorate from the University of Minnesota in Family Social Science with an emphasis on prevention. Her research focuses on leveraging parent-child relationships and technology to promote adolescent health and well-being. Specifically, she engages parents in the prevention of cyberbullying and promotion of digital safety. She also works to unlock the potential of technology to support evidence-based parenting programs for parents from diverse backgrounds.

Kimberly Marshall, Ph.D., will be joining us as Lecturer I and faculty member in the new Applied Behavior Analysis master’s degree program. She is a doctoral-level board-certified behavior analyst. Currently, Dr. Marshall is the Senior Program Coordinator at the Center for Children with Special Needs, where she provides consultative and program development support to educational programs for students on the autism spectrum and with complex social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Additionally, she works on internal projects and development that focus on providing staff with diverse experiences and ongoing training. Dr. Marshall is an adjunct professor and thesis mentor at Endicott College. Dr. Marshall received her bachelor's degree in education from Bucknell University, her master's degree in autism and intellectual disabilities from Teachers College, Columbia University, her board certification in behavior analysis through The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, and her Ph.D. in Applied Behavior Analysis from Endicott College. Dr. Marshall has presented nationally and internationally on topics including functional analysis, reading comprehension, staff training, and university instruction in behavior analysis.

I am sure that your new colleagues would not mind receiving a note of welcome from anyone who is so inclined.

Take care,

Randy
