First GIS officer hired at University Park

Tina Enderlein has been appointed as the first Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) officer for Penn State.

The creation of a GIS officer was the key recommendation in a GIS Council report commissioned by Eva J. Pell, vice president for research and dean of The Graduate School.

The GIS officer will be responsible for increasing awareness of GIS-related technologies and for disseminating GIS-related materials, news and announcements in support of the teaching, outreach and research missions of the University.

Enderlein is a 1994 graduate from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown with a bachelor's degree in geography and a 1995 graduate of Shippensburg University with a master of science in geo-environmental studies. Enderlein most recently served as an environmental scientist for transportation and site development projects with Whitman, Requardt and Associates LLP. From 1996 to 2000, she served as an environmental scientist and a GIS analyst with L. Robert Kimball and Associates.

Enderlein's office is located in N-263 Burrowes Building on the University Park campus. She can be contacted by phone at (814) 865-0586 or e-mail at tme10@psu.edu.

Two named distinguished
professors in College of Education

Eunice Askov, professor of adult education, and Roger Geiger, professor of higher education, were recently appointed as distinguished professors in the College of Education as approved by Provost Rodney Erickson.

The first of these positions came open after the death of longtime distinguished professor Donald Willower last winter. The second became available when William Boyd accepted the new Batschelet chair, thus allowing the third distinguished professorship to open.
