Angle said. \u201cWe look forward to welcoming him and his wife, Janet, to the university and to his joining the university\u2019s leadership team in June.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prior to his appointment at the College of Charleston in 2013, Hale had been dean of the College of Arts, Sciences and Letters at the University of Michigan-Dearborn since 2010. From 1991 until 2010, Hale was a faculty member of the Department of Speech Communication at the University of Georgia and was department head from 2000 to 2008.<\/p>\n<p>He has a bachelor\u2019s degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in communication from Michigan State University.<\/p>\n<p>At the College of Charleston, Hale implemented diversity, equity and inclusion training for his academic department chairs and their assistants that was adopted campus-wide. Another training program he implemented departmentally that was adopted campus-wide was for department heads and search committee chairs to diversify applicant pools and avoid bias in evaluating credentials.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing leadership for traditional programs in the liberal arts and humanities at Charleston, Hale oversaw interdisciplinary programs in environmental studies, child life, public administration, urban studies and women\u2019s and gender studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUTC\u2019s commitment to community engagement is clear and one that I share,\u201d Hale said, \u201cbecause I really believe a metropolitan university ought to be to a metropolitan area what land-grants were established to be to rural areas. The entire community is seen as a part of the learning environment at UTC, and with that emphasis and the focus on student success, I believe UTC\u2019s priorities and mine mesh well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose priorities include demonstrating the value of enhanced equity, diversity and inclusion. I was inspired as an undergraduate by a mentor of mine, a political scientist at UCLA who later became the director of Asian-American studies. He felt cultural studies programs are a draw because they enable diverse communities of students to find their place on their campus and in their world. My work to develop those at the University of Michigan-Dearborn or to enhance them at the College of Charleston also showed me they are real draws for prospective students and, from that, I saw the factor they can be in retention and graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in his career, Hale was an assistant professor of speech at the University of Hawaii-M\u0101noa from 1983 to 1984. From there, he moved to Miami University (Ohio) and served as assistant\/associate professor of communication from 1984 to 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Hale will succeed UTC Interim Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs George Hynd, who plans to retire in July.<\/p>\n<p>A native of Santa Maria, California, Jerry and Janet Hale are the parents of three adult children, Andrew, William and Theresa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jerold L. \u201cJerry\u201d Hale will serve as the next provost and senior vice chancellor for academic affairs for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, effective June 1, 2019.
