Wynn Goering has been appointed Associate Provost of Academic Affairs at the University of New Mexico, Acting Provost Reed Dasenbrock announced today. Goering, who currently serves as Special Assistant to UNM President Louis Caldera, will begin his new duties July 1.
“I am very pleased that Wynn will be returning to his roots in academic administration,” said Dasenbrock. “His unusually broad range of experience at UNM should serve him well in this role.”
Goering’s portfolio as associate provost will include UNM’s Evening and Weekend Degree Programs and the Graduation Project, which were founded by retired associate provost David Stuart. “It is both inspiring and intimidating to be stepping into ‘the house that Dave built,’” said Goering. “Fortunately his legacy includes a great professional staff. I hope that together we’ll be able to add a few more rooms to the structure.”
Goering has held the position of Special Assistant to the President since September 2003, including a six-month appointment as Interim Vice President for Advancement from May to November 2004. Prior to joining the president’s staff he served as a development officer at UNM’s ASM, and as the interim executive director of UNM’s branch campus in Taos.
Goering came to UNM from Bethel College in Kansas, where he was Academic Dean from 1991 to 1997. He has taught English and American literature at Bethel College, McPherson College, and the University of Chicago; and business ethics and strategy at the Anderson Schools. Goering is an MBA graduate of the Anderson Schools and holds masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Chicago (English) and a bachelor’s degree from Bethel College (English and Music).
