Service responsibilities: Member of: DHM and School of Hotel and Restaurant
Administration RPT Committees, HES Dean Search Committee, DHM Apparel Design
Search Committee, OSU Regents Professors Executive Committee, and Review
Committee for University of Texas at Austin’s Human Ecology Department.
2005-2006
Regents Professor and Head, Department of Design, Housing, and Merchandising,
Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK
Continued responsibilities as outlined below.
1993-2005
Professor and Head, Department of Design, Housing and Merchandising, Oklahoma
State University, Stillwater, OK.
Administrative responsibilities: Responsible for department of 17 full-time and 4
adjunct faculty, and approximately 30 graduate and 550 undergraduate students.
Department offers three undergraduate options: apparel design and production,
merchandising, and interior design; and two graduate options: environmental design and
merchandising, at the masters and doctoral levels. An on-line multi-university M.S. in
Family Financial Planning was approved by Oklahoma State University regents in June
2001 and the OSU program was initiated summer 2002 as part of the Great Plains
Interactive Distance Education Alliance for the Human Sciences (GPIDEA). An on-line
merchandising GPIDEA M.S. program was initiated fall 2005.
In order to enhance instruction, research and outreach programs, efforts were directed
toward facilities renovation, acquisition of necessary technology, undergraduate and
graduate curriculum revision, faculty development, expanding shareholder base, and
increasing and leveraging funding from multiple sources. The major accomplishments
noted below were achieved as a team effort during my tenure as department head.
Eight major facility renovations: A 21-station CAD Laboratory featuring
systems furniture from five furniture vendors used as demonstration for interior
design classes was created in 1993, a Sewn Products Production Laboratory was
renovated in 1997 and again in 2001 increasing it’s size by 50%, a new Textile
Laboratory was created in 1995, an Automated Cutting Laboratory was created in
1998, a renovated department hallway featuring faculty-designed display cases
that feature an integrated “design in context” exhibition was completed fall 2001,
four new faculty offices were built in 2002, a textile dye research laboratory was
acquired in 2004, and a Prototype Production Research Laboratoray was added in
2004. Enhancements such as new hallway ceiling and lighting, new drafting
tables and new tablet-arm chairs were routinely accomplished. All facilities
improvements were accomplished by leveraging monies from multiple sources.
Acquisition of technology: New releases of AutoCAD are obtained annually
under a university lease arrangement now involving multiple colleges, branch
campuses and functional units, an arrangement first accomplished in 1997 with
the department rallying support from other units on campus. Gerber pattern
making software, Gerber PDM, and Micrografix iGrafx Designer were added in
2000. A Gerber/Cutting Edge automated sample cutter, industry cutting tables,
knives, pressing and various types of industrial sewing machines were acquired
through private donations and leveraging funds from multiple sources. Additional
textile equipment for the textile laboratories, the production laboratories and the
Environmental Design Laboratory were obtained with multiple research and
instruction grants. Computers are now available in student workstations in the
departmental Materials Resource Library.
Undergraduate and graduate curriculum revisions: When the department was
begun in 1991, a total revamp of the undergraduate and graduate curricula was
accomplished to integrate courses where possible and to establish a 5-course
undergraduate departmental core. Subsequently, major revisions of all three
undergraduate curricula were accomplished. Curriculum approval by the
American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA) was awarded in 1998 and
2003 for both the Apparel Pre-Production and Production Management curricula,
making the OSU program one of only twelve 4-year programs so recognized in
the US. Six-year Foundation of Interior Design Education and Research
reaccredidation for the Interior Design program was awarded in 1995 and 2002.
The doctoral program was redesigned to give every doctoral candidate
2
experiences in teaching, grantsmanship, and community outreach. The M.S.
program was expanded beyond the thesis and creative component options to
include a coursework-only option. Technology, science-based, and global
interdependence are integrated into all programs. Cooperative arrangements with
OSU’s major feeder community college resulted in 2+2 programs in all three
undergraduate options. Various types of assessment data are collected annually
and used for continuous curriculum improvement. First year alumni assessment
input, obtained via an alumni telephone survey, was developed by the department
in 1995 and subsequently adopted by the college in 1998.
Faculty development: All faculty attended seminars and workshops offered by
the college on Boyer’s “Scholarship Reconsidered”, critical thinking, assessment,
distance education, and developing teaching portfolios. Three completed [TC]2
Faculty Fellowships, one completed the American Textile Manufacturers Institute
Study Tour, seven obtained international travel experiences, 15 completed the
Faculty Scholars Program (a college faculty development/orientation program),
ten have had intensive multimedia and distance education training, and seven had
CAD and/or PDM and other software training experiences.
Expansion of shareholder base: Outreach is accomplished via the Cooperative
Extension Service with the department having three CES faculty. Two
cooperative extension faculty were added in fall 2001, both in the resource
management area, a new area for the department. One CES faculty member
directs the Home-Based Business and Micro-Business Center. DHM initiated the
annual Design Educators’ National Exhibition (DENE) in 1995 while hosting the
1995 SW Regional Interior Design Educators Council conference, and the
department continued the annual exhibition through 2005. Initiation of the first
on-line DENE, which allowed greater dissemination to a broader audience base,
occurred in 2001. The 1997 ARS Textrina Conference was hosted by the
department. The Arts of Fashion National Competition, a two-day event that
brought international designers to jury the competition attended by 63 students
attending 22 design programs across the U.S., was hosted fall 2004. Internet
courses were first delivered in fall 1998. An Apparel Industry Advisory Board
and an Interior Design Advisory Board provide curriculum feedback and access to
indursty trends.
Increasing funding: All full-time faculty have on-going applied research and/or
design programs that are integrated with their instruction and outreach
responsibilities. External funding for the department increased every year for nine
years. All faculty participated in externally funded projects in FY 2001 and
typically 75-90% have had external funding each year from 1998 to 2005. Private
funding for $250,000, accomplished primarily by the department, was completed
for an endowed professorship in May 2001 and matched by the regents in June
‘01. The first Christine Salmon Endowed Professor, Janine James, founder of the
New York interior design firm, The Moderns, came to campus in 2002-2003 and
she continued working with two faculty on a NSF curriculum grant. Dr. Michael
Braungart, an internationally recognized scholar and co-author of Cradle to
Cradle, and Shashi Caan, 2004 Designer of the Year, were the second and third
Salmon Endowed Professors. Dr. Paulette Hebert was the fourth Salmon Visiting
Endowed Professor. An internship scholarship endowment for $150,000,
designed to help students accept quality internships, was funded with private
donations and initiated in summer 2000. Apparel design and production students
are now eligible for scholarships awarded by the American Apparel and Footwear
Association, a recognition reserved for only twelve colleges/universities in North
America.
