All the best to Registry Member Niles Sorensen in his new role as Interim Senior Vice President of Institutional Advancement at Brandeis University. We are excited about the positive transformations that this collaboration will bring about and look forward to celebrating them. “Brandeis University occupies a prominent and increasingly valuable role within the landscape of higher education, and I am thrilled to have the chance to help shape its future. President Liebowitz, his leadership team, and my colleagues in Institutional Advancement all combine to make this opportunity at Brandeis a fulfilling professional and personal opportunity.”

Thank you to Registry Member Charlita Shelton, PhD for sharing her great experiences as a Registry Interim and working with Senior Consultant Lucille Sansing, PhD. We are proud of the great work that you have done and will continue to do! "I have been a Member of The Registry since 2015. It was one of the best decisions of my life to seek out this opportunity as The Registry has provided me with two interim assignments. The first assignment was at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. It was September of 2019 and what was supposed to be a 10-month contract ended up lasting nearly 5 years! Gonzaga just kept renewing my time there year by year. I am now the Interim Vice President of Equity & Belonging for Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA as my contract officially ended at Gonzaga in May. Central Washington is made up of a wonderful community of great people. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't express my appreciation and admiration for Dr. Lucille Sansing. Lucille was responsible for both of my placements. She has always supported me and stayed in close contact. In the case of these contracts, Lucille always had my best interest in mind when working with these institutions. Thank you to The Registry for providing a needed honored service to so many colleges and universities."

Thank you to Registry Member Jaime Porter for sharing your thoughts about your role as Interim Chief Advancement Officer at Saint Xavier University in Chicago. We are pleased to have helped you find the perfect interim placement where you are making such a positive impact at the school and enjoying yourself. "Serving as an Interim Chief Advancement Officer is the perfect opportunity for my post-retirement plan. The support from The Registry staff and other members has been invaluable throughout the process. My interim placement at Saint Xavier University in Chicago could not have been a better fit. Besides leading the Advancement Team during a time of presidential transition, I have drawn upon my many years in advancement to assess and enhance programs and processes, mentor individual team members, enrich partnerships with campus leadership, maintain relationships with alumni and donors, and of course, continue to raise money for the university. At the end of the day, I see my interim role as setting the stage for success for a permanent Vice President. It has been a rewarding and fun experience."

Today we honor the hard work and dedication of workers past and present.

"I am loving my interim placement. The Registry made it easy to transition into my position, and the university family has welcomed me as a respected veteran. I know my role, and I am enjoying helping the university ready itself for the next permanent academic leader." Well wishes to Registry Member Kim Martin-Long as she continues her role as Interim Dean of the College of Public Service at the University of Houston-Downtown. We are pleased that she is enjoying her new role and her new university family!

“Normally when you’re searching for higher education leadership, you do a national search and it takes months. With The Registry’s process, it’s a lot quicker. I can put in a request and within a few days, I can get some candidates. Within a few weeks, I can actually make a decision and get someone on board. At a time when you have unanticipated vacancies and you need leadership quickly, being able to go right from a query to CVs and cover letters to two interviews in a matter of days is really powerful.” Watch this video from Daniel J. Ennis, PhD, President of Delta State University to learn more about his experiences working with The Registry.

We wish Registry Member Valerie Bonita Morris continued success in her role as Interim Dean of the College of the Arts at Kennesaw State University. We look forward to seeing all the significant changes that are coming to the college under her guidance. "I am grateful to The Registry for this opportunity to participate in KSU's exciting journey towards national prominence. Working as Interim Dean of the College of the Arts is tremendously rewarding, as I help the faculty to develop strategic Initiatives that forward the University's strategic plan and to participate in the development of a major arts center that will have an enormous impact on the regional arts scene. The College already possesses an outstanding faculty and wonderful arts facilities, so we are well underway."
