Alice Murray To Lead USF Lakeland's
Administrative and Academic Support Services

LAKELAND, FL (February 16, 2004) - Dr. Preston Mercer, CEO and Vice-President of USF Lakeland, announces Dr. Alice Murray has agreed to serve as Associate Vice President of Administrative and Academic Support Services, effective February 16 , 2004.

Dr. Murray will oversee budgets, human resources and student services during a time of rapid growth for our campus. The faculty has grown from six to over thirty-five. Student numbers have nearly tripled, the budget has tripled, funds have been secured for over 33,000 sq. ft of new classroom/laboratory/office space and land has been acquired for an exciting new primary campus site. This progress is the result of the extraordinary work done by the faculty and staff, the legislative support of the Polk County Legislative Delegation and the leadership of President Judy Genshaft in moving towards more support of local community needs.

Dr. Murray brings to this position the business and academic experience and the educational background to help ensure USF Lakeland's orderly growth as we expand services to Polk/Highland/Hardee counties and central Florida. Since 2000 Dr. Murray has served USF Lakeland as Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs. Before coming to Lakeland, she held positions as Assistant to the Vice President of Student Services for USF, Coordinator of Administrative Services and Business Manager at the University of Florida's Citrus Research and Education Center and Director of Administration for KPMG Peat Marwick. She holds an M.B.A. from the University of Tampa and an Ed.D. from the University of Central Florida.

"Dr. Murray has done a superb job helping us build a world-class educational experience for USF Lakeland students, and with her help, we will continue to grow and serve Polk/Highland/Hardee counties and central Florida," states Mercer.
