FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RELEASE NO. 16-08
CARVER NAMED AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCATION FELLOW -- March 24, 2008
The ACE Fellows Program, established in 1965, is designed to strengthen institutions and leadership in American higher education by identifying and preparing promising senior faculty and administrators for responsible positions in college and university administration. Thirty-six Fellows, nominated by the presidents or chancellors of their institutions, were selected this year in a national competition.
Sharon A. McDade, Ed. D., director of the ACE Fellows Program, noted that most previous Fellows have advanced into major positions in academic administration. Of the more than 1,500 participants in the first 43 years of the program, more than 300 have become chief executive officers and more than 1,100 have become provosts, vice presidents, or deans.
“We’re extremely pleased with the incoming class,” McDade said. “The individuals selected have demonstrated strong leadership. The Fellows Program will sharpen and enhance their leadership skills and their network, and prepare them to address issues of concern to the
higher education community.”
Carver, an academy professor, has been the vice dean for resources since 2006 and holds both a doctorate and master’s degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M. He is also a 1983 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy.
From 2004 through 2006, he served as the director for the Information and Educational Technology Division here and previously was a professor for the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
