Mark Rozewski appointed vice president for Business Affairs
 Mark Rozewski has been named vice president for Business Affairs at the University of Southern Indiana effective spring 2005. The announcement was made today by USI President H. Ray Hoops. Rozewski will be the chief business and fiscal officer for the University. He will provide leadership to the University’s administrative business offices and will work closely with Dr. Hoops and administrators to execute USI’s mission. Rozewski is the associate provost for Finance and Administration at Rutgers University, Camden (New Jersey) campus, a public research university with an international reputation for teaching, research, and service. He has been associated with Rutgers since 1978, both on the main campus and at Camden, and has held positions of increasingly greater responsibility in planning, physical plant, budgeting, major capital project planning, finance, and administration. Commenting on the move to USI, Rozewski said, “I’m struck by the collegiality, the optimism, and the campus growth at USI.” He described USI as an engaging, lovely place that is so obviously enhanced by the community. Dr. Hoops said, “Mark brings strong experience in fiscal management and campus master planning to this position, and we are certain he will be an asset to USI. Mark impressed the University community with his vision for leading the business affairs area in ways that will assist all units of the institution in reaching their goals.” At Rutgers Camden campus, Rozewski chaired the Self Study Committee and was author of the study in preparation of the accreditation visit; gave leadership for major new campus developments to support campus expansion and enrollment growth goals for $20 million in general campus construction, a $31 million law school, and the development of new student housing via a public-private partnership; and gave leadership to a broad-based effort to share support services like libraries, recreational and student heath services, security, parking, facilities services, and debit cards, with two other colleges in the City of Camden to improve service to mutual constituencies and develop economies of scale for certain activities. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Rutgers and has taken additional graduate work at Texas A & M University. Rozewski is expected to arrive at USI in March. In the interim, Cynthia S. Brinker will serve as acting vice president for Business Affairs in addition to her duties as vice president of Governmental Relations. Dr. Hoops expressed appreciation to Dr. Rob Parrent, vice president for Student Affairs and chair of the search committee, and members of search committee for excellent service. |
