IUP has selected its new managing director for the Administration and Leadership Studies Research and Training Center.
Dr. Robert Orth will fill the vacancy left by the retirement of the center’s long time managing director Dr. Sherri Chippo. The ALS-RTC is an interdisciplinary center that supports sponsored research, program evaluation, policy analysis, technology transfer, and training for non-profits and state agencies. According to a news release, the managing director oversees the day-to-day operational needs of the center and assists center faculty as they navigate the processes and procedures at both IUP and their respective contracting agencies to successfully execute their contracted work statements in a timely and efficient fashion.
In the announcement, Orth said that the center has a “rich history of performing exceptional work and I am eager to continue that trend by elevating the Center’s profile, enhancing our agency partnerships, driving award growth, and producing high-caliber work project deliverables which advance public policy discussions by informing agency decision making.”
