Moeser said. "She will provide dynamic leadership under
which our graduate programs will continue to improve
and increase the university's reputation nationally and internationally.
"In addition to her administrative responsibilities, she
plans to continue her funded research, underscoring the
importance of research as a key component of graduate
education."
Garrison's appointment marks the elimination of the
position of associate provost for institutional research and
planning, as that position has been merged into the graduate
dean's responsibilities as part of a reorganization of
the Provost Office.
"Dr. Garrison will direct the Graduate School as well as

"I enjoy my work in public health, but the broader challenges
posed by this position are also very appealing," said
Garrison, who has served as interim associate provost for
Institutional Planning and Research since last year.
"The university has a number of fine graduate education
programs, but we need to position ourselves to coordinate
our offerings to better meet the needs of the state
and region. Among our most immediate challenges will
be to strengthen recruitment of graduate students, identify
ways to increase financial support for them and develop
ways in which we can prepare these future faculty
members to be as successful at teaching as they are knowledgeable
about their academic disciplines."
Garrison joined USC in 1982 as an associate professor
and director of community health nursing, holding an adjunct
position in epidemiology and biostatistics. In 1984,
she was appointed as an associate professor of epidemiology
and biostatistics, serving as graduate director from
1985-88. Garrison was appointed acting chairwoman of
the department in 1990 and chairwoman in 1991.

"The-guidance of this campus through the coming years
is an important and challenging agenda, and I am proud

Since September 1993, Stockwell has served as interim
chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, which

Stockwell came to Wisconsin in 1988 to serve as provost

strategic plan, combined library and computer services
to facilitate campuswide networking and access, and
implemented a successful minority faculty recruitment and
retention program.
