September 11, 2002 GOERING RETURNS TO ANDERSON SCHOOLS AS CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER Dr. Wynn Goering has been named chief development officer at the Anderson Schools of Management (ASM) at the University of New Mexico. Goering, who started at ASM on Sept. 9, most recently served as interim executive director of the UNM Taos Branch. Goering is familiar with the Anderson Schools where he taught Ethical, Political and Social Environment of Management and Strategic Management at the undergraduate and graduate levels. He also earned his MBA from the Anderson Graduate School of Management in 1998. “We are extremely pleased to have someone of Wynn’s caliber joining the Anderson Schools of Management as development officer,” said Dean Howard Smith. “He brings a wealth of experience to the position having managed constituent relations at UNM Taos Campus and Bethel College in Kansas in addition to other important leadership positions. “As one of our graduates, Wynn knows the Schools well and will be able to effectively represent us in view of this knowledge. His affable nature, humor and insights on business should help to build bridges to alumni, businesses and other key stakeholders of the Anderson Schools.” “I’ve worked and studied at a lot of institutions,” Goering said, “When I was ready to invest in my own management education, I chose Anderson because I thought it had something special to offer. Now I’m looking forward, in my new development role, to the opportunity to articulate those special qualities to other potential investors in Anderson’s future.” In addition to his work at ASM, Goering has held several teaching positions throughout his career including: visiting assistant professor of English at the University of Chicago; lecturer in English at McPherson (Kan.) College; and assistant professor of English at Bethel (Kan.) College. At Bethel, Goering also served as the College’s registrar (1990-91) and academic dean (1991-97). Prior to his appointment at UNM-Taos, Goering served as associate director and director of development at St. Martin’s Hospitality Center in Albuquerque. He was responsible for the Center’s $300,000 annual charitable giving goals and was the liaison for some of the agency’s primary external constituencies including the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Central New Mexico. Goering received his Ph.D. and masters degree in English Language and Literature from the University of Chicago, and his bachelor of arts in English and Music from Bethel College.
