Today AWF recognizes....Dr. Terri L. Lomax

Dr. Terri L. Lomax has been named vice chancellor for research and graduate studies at North Carolina State University. Chancellor James Oblinger made the announcement today following approval by the NC State Board of Trustees' Academic Affairs and Personnel Committee. The
appointment will become effective Jan. 12, 2009.

The vice chancellor for research and graduate studies oversees the administration of NC State's research and development expenditures, federal relations, research funding and compliance, technology transfer and commercialization, Centennial Campus partnerships, and the Graduate
School. These responsibilities include managing a budget of more than $300 million in research expenditures - NC State is ranked 9th nationally in total research expenditures among public universities without medical schools - and oversight of the more than 7,000 graduate students at NC State.

Lomax has served as interim vice chancellor for research and graduate studies since June 2008. Prior to that she was dean of NC State's Graduate School, where she led the development and implementation of a strategic plan for graduate education. As a result of her efforts, the Graduate School increased career-oriented skills training and professional development options, increased numbers of professional degrees, and provided interdisciplinary and international opportunities
that enhanced its ability to recruit and retain the best and brightest graduate students.  

Lomax earned a bachelor's degree in botany from the University of Washington. She earned a master's degree in botany/biology from San Diego State University and a doctorate in biological sciences from Stanford University.
