On March 12, Nancy Lecourt accepted the invitation of the 海角视频 board to serve as vice president for academic administration, starting July 1, 2006.
Lecourt is a professor of English at PUC. She has been teaching at the college since 1979, serving as chair of the department for ten accumulative years. Lecourt has a Ph.D. in English from the University of New Hampshire.
“Dr. Lecourt has shown as a professor and department chair at PUC that she has the leadership qualities and respect from colleagues needed to make an excellent Academic Dean. She has been serving this year as the writer for the accreditation reports to our regional accrediting body showing vision as a futurist leader,” said President Richard Osborn.
Lecourt will replace current academic dean Ileana Douglas, who is leaving administration to return to the classroom. Douglas has served as vice president for academic administration since 1999. Prior to coming to PUC, Douglas taught history at Atlantic Union College. Next fall, she will begin a teaching appointment in the PUC history department as a professor.
The search for a new academic dean began in January. Osborn chaired the search committee along with membership of one board member, four faculty members chosen by the Academic Senate, and the Student Association president. Final recommendations were turned into the board on March 10.
