UCW seeking new members
The University Committee on Women seeks new members to help monitor and raise issues of importance to women throughout campus. Members are needed in all classifications (faculty, P&S, merit, and graduate and undergraduate students). UCW meets monthly; members serve three-year terms. Send nominations (including self nominations) and applications to Susan Carlson, Provost Office, susanc@iastate.edu. Applications are due May 16.

ADP to change its name
The Administrative Data Processing (ADP) Center will become Administrative Technology Services on July 1. The update is more reflective of the department's services and prevents confusion with an external company with the same initials. The ADP Center partners with clients to develop and support administrative systems containing university, departmental, employee and student information. More information on services provided by the ADP Center is online at http://www.adp.iastate.edu.

Perry named associate dean of students
Leonard Perry, deputy executive director of the Gates Millenium Scholars program for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has been named associate dean of students and director for minority student affairs, effective Aug. 1. Perry will provide overall leadership for minority student affairs, student support services, Multicultural Vision and Hixson programs, National Student Exchange and the academic success center.

Previously, Perry served as associate dean of student life at Brown University, and associate dean of students at both Florida State University and Purdue University.
