Norwich University officials announced the appointment of Dr. Diane Douglas as registrar of Norwich University effective on December 1, 2013.
Douglas holds a Ph.D. in Education from the University of Idaho and is coming from the University of Wisconsin-Superior, where she served as registrar since 2010.
Previously Douglas spent many years working at several public institutions including Rainy River Community College in International Falls, Minn., and Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho, leveraging her experience in scheduling, registration and other organizational requirements of these institutions for improved efficiencies
As the custodian of students’ records, Douglas said she will focus on improving services where possible with degree audits and explore the possibility of improving the speed at which transfer evaluations are processed.
“My initial priorities at Norwich are to look into the degree audits and the transfer transcript evaluation process to see if improvements can be made that will better serve the students, faculty and staff at Norwich,” Douglas said.
“We look forward to welcoming Dr. Douglas to Norwich,” said Guiyou Huang, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty. “She brings with her a wealth of experience in higher education to this critical university function.”
