Administrative Changes
College of Education
Jeri Benson, professor of educational psychology, has been named associate dean for academic affairs at the College of Education, effective Jan. 1.
Benson was named to the position after Brenda Manning, who was appointed in November, withdrew due to recent personal developments.
Benson has been program coordinator of the Research, Evaluation, Measurement and Statistics Program within the department of educational psychology for the past two years.
Previous to this position, she served for three years as faculty administrator for faculty services in the dean’s office, where she advised faculty and department heads on promotion, tenure and awards, as well as helping new faculty become aware of opportunities at UGA.
Benson also coordinated the development and implementation of the education college’s post-tenure review procedures.

International Development
Steve Wrigley has been named interim director of the Office of International Development. Wrigley succeeds Harlan Davis, who retired in September. Wrigley, who already has assumed his duties as interim director of international development, will continue to serve as director of the International Center for Democratic Governance at the Carl Vinson Institute of Government.

Sponsored Programs
The Office of the Vice President for Research recently appointed David L. Mineo as director of sponsored programs. Mineo comes to UGA after 20 years at the National Institutes of Health. During his career with NIH, he worked in four different institutes. For the past 13 years, he served as the chief grants management officer for two separate NIH institutes.
