A former vice president and academic dean at 91大神 will return to serve as interim provost for the 2008-09 school year. <\/p>\n

91大神 President Loren Swartzendruber<\/a> announced that Dr. Lee F. Snyder will begin serving Aug. 25 in the second highest administrative post at the university. <\/p>\n

She succeeds Dr. Beryl H. Brubaker, who is retiring this summer after 37 years as a faculty member and administrator. <\/p>\n

The provost gives overall guidance to the undergraduate and graduate academic programs<\/a> of the university as well as Eastern Mennonite Seminary<\/a>, various auxiliary programs and the Adult Degree Completion Program<\/a>. <\/p>\n

"I am pleased that Dr. Snyder will serve in this interim role at 91大神," Swartzendruber said. "She brings a wealth of experience to the responsibilities she will carry."<\/p>\n

Academic Background<\/h3>\n

Snyder was vice president and academic dean of 91大神 for 12 years before becoming president of Bluffton (Ohio) University, where she served with distinction from 1996 until retiring on July 31, 2006. <\/p>\n

Snyder joined the 91大神 faculty in 1974 and taught part time in the humanities and in English<\/a> while serving as an assistant in the dean’s office, 1974-82. <\/p>\n

A native of Harrisburg, Ore., Snyder attended 91大神 for one year and earned a B.A. degree from the University of Oregon. <\/p>\n

Later she received an MA in English literature and linguistics from James Madison University and a PhD in American and Victorian literature from the University of Oregon. <\/p>\n

Her doctoral work focused on the writings of contemporary California writer Joan Didion.<\/p>\n

Global Interests<\/h3>\n

Lee and her husband, Delbert W. Snyder, taught in Nigeria, 1965-68. Her many board and association assignments include: chair of the China Educational Exchange Board, 1989-95; chair, executive Board of Mennonite Church USA and moderator, Mennonite Health Services Alliance board of directors, 2006-present and current chair. <\/p>\n

Assignments in Africa, Asia and Latin America have contributed to her interest in global issues and international education. <\/p>\n

Snyder and her husband again reside in Harrisonburg, Va.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
