Brinkerhoff is interim senior vice chancellor
David Brinkerhoff,
former associate vice chancellor of academic
affairs at UNL, will
serve as interim senior vice chancellor
for academic affairs
beginning Jan. 2.
Brinkerhoff will hold the position during
the university's
search for a replacement for Richard Edwards, the
incumbent senior
vice chancellor. Edwards will leave UNL's
administration at the
end of this year to take a teaching and
research position in
the College of Business Administration.
A member of UNL's sociology faculty for 24 years until his
retirement last year, Brinkerhoff also served in the Office of
Academic Affairs for 11 years. He was acting and interim associate
vice chancellor in 1990 and 1991 and was appointed associate
vice
chancellor in 1993. He served as acting senior vice chancellor
from
July 1, 2000, through Jan. 7, 2001.
"I am delighted
that David Brinkerhoff was willing to
interrupt his retirement to
again serve the university,"
Chancellor Harvey Perlman said in
announcing Brinkerhoff's appointment.
"He's highly respected
on campus and has been closely involved
in all of the major
initiatives under way in the Office of Academic
Affairs. He's the
ideal choice to keep those initiatives moving
forward during a time
of transition."
A native of Worland, Wyo., Brinkerhoff
earned his bachelor's
degree in sociology and business
administration and his master's
in sociology at Brigham Young
University (1967, 1968), and his
doctorate in sociology at the
University of Washington (1976).
He was assistant professor of
sociology at the University of
Notre Dame in 1974-75 and served two
years as a research investigator
in the state of Washington's
Office of Financial Management before
he joined the Nebraska
faculty in 1978.
"This is a key position that has an
impact on every academic
area of the university," Brinkerhoff
said. "As such,
I am looking forward to returning and
assisting the university
in the process of making a smooth
transition to new academic
leadership. I am honored to be selected
for this role."
