Assistant Vice President for Students and Enrollment Appointed
In an e-mail to the Brandeis community, Vice President for Students and Enrollment Jean Eddy announced the appointment of her assistant, Frank Urso, who came to the school in late November.
According to the e-mail, Urso will "oversee the financial and budget administration processes for the entire division and have responsibility for the overall management of the division's budget." Urso will lead projects and advise on institutional policy development and will help with the administration of the Student Activities Fee.
Urso comes from Harvard University, where he was a director in the office of Technology Services, worked in the Division of Research and Faculty Development and managed the offices of Intellectual Capital and Research Administration in the Harvard Business School. He also served as an instructor in the Harvard School of Continuing Education.
Urso received a B.S. in Finance from Boston College, an M.B.A from Bentley College, and an Ed.M. in Administration Planning and Social Policy from Harvard School of Education.
Keenyn McFarlane, the former assistant vice president and budget director for students and enrollment, departed at the end of November.
Perry Hanson to Retire in June
Vice President and Vice Provost for Library and Technology Services Perry Hanson will retire at the end of June, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Peter French and Provost Marty Krauss announced in a campuswide e-mail.

Beginning in January 2005, Hanson oversaw the integration of the Brandeis libraries and Technology Services into LTS, according to the e-mail.
A reception for Hanson will be held later in the spring.
A faculty and senior staff committee co-chaired by Prof. Tim Hickey (COSI) and Vice President Maureen Murphy and the executive search firm Isaacson, Miller will conduct a national search for a successor to Hanson.
